I’m on the Cloud!
It’s official – just $29 per month for current Adobe customers for the entire CS6 Master Collection? Done. Guess I’ll be using Premiere CS6 more than I thought but after the NAB demos I couldn’t resist.
Hope this new plan works Adobe 🙂

Oh yeah… it’s not actually shipping yet, but I’m on the Cloud…

36 euros in Euroland… Still not bad.

Hey,
perhaps one of the Adobe people who read these forums can answer this as the shine has been taken off my anticipation.
For a cloud based service, which I guess circumnavigates geographical location, why are we in the UK being charged £27.34 pm (as a current user on a year sub) for something the Americans are being charged £18.01 for?
And although I get you may need to add VAT on there (do America not charge a VAT tax) why are we being charged VAT at 23% (it’s 20% over here at the moment) and the VAT is still only a fiver so why isn’t the monthly deal subscription £23 a month?
Even worse the Europeans have to pay £29.40.
It does kind of take the shine off something when we seem to get charged more for the same service, especially one that is delivered via the cloud. Why can’t we get the same deal as North Americans?

How did you get the $29 price?
I click on the special price link, but it appears to be broken.
If I add to cart, it seems like I can only get the $49 price.
The offer details link seems to be broken too.
Did you enter a promo code to get that price?
-
Under the link for the $49 there was another link which said * current customers or some such
i clicked that and then logged into the adobe account and it new i had CS4 and offered the £27/mo option ($29 if you’re in N.America!!!!!)
Hope that helps

That’s the link that seems to be broken.
Perhaps too many hits to the site?

It’s kind of like that bottle of Bordeaux I get for a lot cheaper when I’m in France, than buying it here. 🙂
US has no VAT, but each state (save a few) have an additional state tax that may or may not get applied to an online purchase. Online tax is a big debate right now as each state looks to add to their dwindling budgets. Where I live in Massachusetts it’s an additional 6.25% that can be added to the advertised price. For those interested in a state by state review, see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_the_United_States

you are correct, it is now down here too. Was fine about an hour ago. I’m sure it’ll get sorted at some point but that is the link you need 🙂
-
haha, everything seems cheaper than buying it here. Unless you’re in Scandinavia when they do seem a tad more expensive than here.
The no VAT thing in America makes a little sense of the price difference then, thanks for the info (lucky Americans… 20% stings) but we’re still £4 a month worse off. And really it isn’t so much the money as the principle. I get kind of tired of organisations seeming to think we’re minted over here and charging more, especially as we keep getting told we live in a global village 🙂

All the tax talk on this thread had me thinking- Adobe has offered us a way to separate the pros from the amateurs. If you can write off the cost of your monthly Creative Cloud membership, you are a pro!
(Common practice in the US, not sure about our international friends’ tax codes.)
Best,
Andy
