CS5 - Adobe offering subscriptions

[eranslow]

Tonight I got an email from Adobe announcing that they are now offering subscriptions for CS5. I don't know if this has been posted yet but I thought I would share

Gosh Eran those subscriptions seem rather large. I dont think my monthly housing budget has room for this. The student edition sounds enough for me.

Thanks for passing on the info tho - their maybe others who find this approach more suitable.

For the cost of those subscriptions, you might has well just buy the program. Ouch!

Those prices are pretty high, plus the install time (it took me 1 1/2 hours to download the new design suite and another 45 min to get it fully installed)... doesn't seem at all worth it..
for $95 a month, I'd only get to use it for a few months for what I bought it at the education shop (only $299 for the entire design suite 5.5 ..CS5, Illustrator and more!..for having a student-age-son).
Yikes, those prices! They are reallyyyy high!
