The price is actually seen here

Its right at the bottom and also the price is in USD.

Can anyone think of an explanation as to why this is so overpriced?

I appreciate the amount of work they put into it but come on...

What average person would pay $2499 for a bunch of editing/publishing programs? I'm sure you could get something much more exciting for your money.

Cant answer that.

However I predict a spate of orders going in at work and a dose of installation requests.

pfft.

Thanks for pointing that out, must have had my blinkers on when I viewed the website.

Do you want your star now or later?

You really are becoming quite helpful Hassan.

You do seem to get quite a few programs, but unless someone gives me a 95% student discount (works for office) I wouldn't spend $2500...that's like £1500 at least with UK pricing.

I wouldn't mind having my stars now.

Thanks for the compliment

Also I tend to wait for updates on the news and also the reviews section.

I think the suite is aimed more towards professionals. Adobe have different versions that are cheaper.

the full suite is aimed at pro's usually so the price tag comes with it, which you make back quickly to be honest if you're worthit.

and in truth its nice to see high price tags on PROFESSIONAL software because i'm sick of the

'i've used photoshop therefore i'm a designer'

kids/people out there... deviantart and suchlike are just FILLED with copycats now

anything individual is insta cloned within a week

as for home users there are nearly always smaller and less expensive versions of the programs you ACTUALLY need. (the elements series which i haven't seen for cs3 yet tbh)

be interesting to see what performance gain the new 64bit version has over the 32bit...

(according to adobe, not much unless you edit MASSIVE (and i mean MASSIVE) files)

we'll see..
