Hi All,

I will be purchasing a FULL package of the Adobe Creative Suite Master collection 4 over the next 2 weeks and I was hooping to see if any of you may know of a good price for this?

So far my research has led me to the following results.

1) Adobe - £2545.05 (inc VAT)

2) PB Softwware - £1475.00 (inc Vat) I Need to check if this is the full version but appears to be.

3) Horizon Software - ££1,179.00 (inc VAT)


Questions:
1) why such a varience on the prices? any ideas?
2) Do you have any preiouse experience purchasing from any of the above retailers?
3) Do you have a supplier you would reccomend?

All advice, links and info kindly appreciated as always.

P.S. Keep up the good work Kip! N2 is looking great!

I have no idea, I went through the package by email twice with them buddy, we used www.cheapsoftwares.cc buddy, just a suggestion, but the one real bit of one you choose, just tally up the package, if you think you will use something in the future, get it now at a package price.

And I know this is room 101 shit, but seriously buddy, check the mac box, I got all impulsive and clicked the wrong one and had to chase them to change it! Get it right, as it is not exactly bus fare!

Good to see you back Steve.

Yeah feels good to be back bud took a few weeks out to see family etc and chasing business loans up etc all sorted now for next week when the balls begin to start fully rolling out.

I was never really gone just watching from the outside seat for a week or two.

Any how ref: the software, i have my restraints on teh clicking hand to ensure the FULL MAC version is selected with this one.

and good point about considering the futre requiremetns with any purcahse i say especially something like this, saves a bucket load.

Example: photoshop on it's own £900+, Illustrator £900+ and so on so you can see the savings made by purchasing the suite collections.

I was considering down sizing to the Web master suite but like you are pointing out here for the future this is not the best route.

Thanks to all who have assisted me with advice, help and information to get me to where i am today. A big thank you to all.

Thank you all.

Was your copy a full UK Version Kip? as i am about to place the order but uncertain about ordering from oversea's, they have the full CS4 MAC version up for $1,180.00 Canadian dollars = £696.58 British pounds sterling? Adobe retail at £2500 ish

Also how long did it take for your delivery roughly?

Hmm not sure if I would take the gamble buddy, stick with the UK Version, I certainly would not gamble with my own money, so would not advise you too.

The order has been placed with a change to the plans after further re-thinking, I have decided to go for the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium Package as the added features of the Master Collection CS4 will not be used, I only require Photoshop, Illustrator, Fireworks, Flash, Acrobat & Dreamweaver as the key programmes.

With the spare funds that had been allocated for the CS4 Master Collection version i have been able to get a standalone email software for unlimted email sending and frequency and I have also invested in two CMS Systems. All good fun. Just a long 24 hours before it all arrives.

it sounds fab does any of it go ping or is it shiny, have no idea about this stuff sounds great though. good stuff

Haha, The Meaning of Life just sprang to mind there Colin! Its does go Bong and Beep, but only when you do something wrong! :)
