You certainly can.  My local CompUSA has it for $20.00.  CM 5500, which is
almost as good but doesn't have a decent database function, was available for
$15.00.  I saw CM5000 packaged together with several other game programs (not
other chess programs) for $20.00, this program was about the same as CM5500, but
didn't have a good 2D set.

On the other hand, a "learning" store in a nearby mall was selling CM5500 for
$50.00!  From this we learn to shop around.

And yes, I think that CM6000 is a good buy.
