Amazon Leaks Details on Adobe's Creative Suite 3
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "NEWS" @ 10:00 AM
"Amazon Canada has accidentally revealed a number of details--from prices to release dates--for Adobe Systems' highly anticipated Creative Suite 3. The leak, which was reported Sunday by Apple Insider, has made information about CS3 available in advance of Adobe's formal announcement on Tuesday. Included on the Amazon pages, which are still live, are prices for the various full versions, upgrade packages, and individual software editions like Photoshop and InDesign. Prices range from 110 Canadian dollars ($95) for an upgrade version of Web authoring tool Contribute--which became Adobe property when the company acquired rival Macromedia in 2005--to 3,440 Canadian dollars ($2,957) for the full Master Collection of all CS3 applications. Amazon's U.S. site is also now listing the software. On the U.S. site, however, the Master Collection is listed for $2,499 with an availability of July 1."
Since the beta for CS3 has been available for some time now, I don't think the features are much of a surprise. Of course, with all the different versions and combinations now available, it almost feels like when Microsoft had first announced its many Vista versions. It still boggles my mind though about the $3K full Master Collection. That will do some damage.
