[Jeff Pulera] “You can certainly purchase the Adobe Install Media for $25 if you want to have DVD hard copies of the software on hand.”

Jeff, does this statement apply to both the full purchase and the cloud rental situations?

I didnt think Adobe had discussed pricing or terms of use for CS Next yet.

Thanks for bringing up some other cogent points.Loosing the ability to edit if I stop renting just doesnt make sense to me if I can make a full purchase and continue editing with that version as long as I like.

As long as we all have options that fit our needs, all will be happy.

This was posted on March 5 about Adobe not selling “boxes” anymore.At the bottom they mentioned that install disks are available for $20.

They have not discussed any release date or policy details on CS Next. Lots of us are hoping they honor the same options.

Joe, you bring up some good additional points.

Im all for choice . As long as Adobe gives us the option to rent the Cloud OR purchase the download (with install disks) Im a happy camper.

BTW, I grew up in New England. In a small Connecticut town near UCONN.

Michael G,as a beta tester in the past for Adobe and others, I can tell you that getting updates right away is not always a good thing. Living on the bleeding edge of new releases can have bad results sometimes. I prefer to wait a while before using any new release.

All I need is the Production Bundle so your first point is a moot one for users like me.

I have had to do re-installs due to several issues. Having media on hand expedites this process. Which is especially important if deadline are looming 😀

Michael H., the price I pay yearly is the upgrade price, not the full retail price. Ive owned CS software for the past 15 years. Your math just doenst work when you factor this in for users like me.

And lets be honest, it saves them a heck of a lot of money in the manufacturing and distributing of disks. From where I sit they reap more benefits then I do for the monthly rental approach.:D

Im not sure why so many folks are so easily suckered into thinking monthly subscription payment is a good thing when you consider the following

Besides technical issues that might make the necessary web connection
for the monthly check by Adobe impossible (dead modem – down ISP or cable), the biggest drawback I see is this.

When I purchased the disks for CS6 I can edit forever with that software.

If I stop paying rent on the Cloud, I can no longer edit at all.

Remember Murphys Law, if something can go wrong (with the Cloud) it will. 😀
