$30 cloud offer finishing today. Anyone taking a punt?
With the one-year $29.99 cloud offer finishing today, I’m doing last-minute pondering if I just jump in now, or wait until CS7 ships next month and take a chance on a more expensive cloud subscription or a perpetual license upgrade to my current CS6 Master Collection. Just curious as to what other users are doing with this April 19 offer closing.

I’ve got one cloud seat now along with a CS6 Production Premium seat and think I’ll stay put with that arrangement and see what Adobe charges for the CS7 upgrade.
In the past, the upgrade cost was around $375 if I recall. If thats the case again, I’ll likely do the perpetual licence upgrade for one seat and keep the cloud for the other… While I’m not opposed to the cloud, like many, I like have the option to own the software.
For example, while I’m really liking all the Adobe products now, a few years from now they may flounder (see Apple’s FCP fiasco). If that happens and I switch to a different platform, I’d like the flexibility of being open “legacy” Adobe projects without needing to maintain a monthly subscription.
I know there’s been a lot of heat on this topic and I’m certainly not looking to start any fights… but for now I think that’s the approach for me.
Production is fun – but lets not forget: Nobody ever died on the video table!

I did it. For one thing, you have a while to cancel it. I also liked some the additional perks so I said what the hey.
