I believed Fritz 13 nothing much difference from previous version.I am quite suprised when Chessbase limit premium membership to playchess.com to six months only from 12 months.But the best part for me , about this programme is that I  can take part in daily tournament and try to win membership extension,which I did in many occasion.You can order from me  now for RM260.00 and delivery will be in 3 weeks from now on.
