Store
Terms and Conditions

Enter SAVE80EDU at checkout.

Goes until March 2nd. Some pretty good deals, and the FAQ states you can use these commercially.

I know Neogaf isn't a hot deals forum, but I also know there are a lot of students that post here. Thought this would be a good opportunity to discuss their product line, and if it is worth buying these with Photoshop CS6 releasing so soon.
So, any thoughts?

Suite 5.5 Master Collection for $179.80???

FUCK YES

 

[The Return of]

Is this only for international stores?

 

[peppermints]

My school is lucky enough to offer free downloads for CS5 through an agreement with Adobe, but that's still a pretty awesome deal.

 

[xxracerxx]

Is this only for international stores?

Seems like the US works as well.

Master Collection actually has too much shit I wouldn't use, looks like Design Premium again.

 

[Gouty]

My current computer is a piece of shit that will choke under any of these programs.

Any idea if I could attempt to use them on my current PC for the time being and then transfer them to a future computer down the road?

 

[Firestorm]

Urgh, you need a different purchase for Windows and Mac? I use a Windows Desktop + MacBook Pro x.x This is a crazy price though.

 

[Divvy]

What's the difference between the student & teacher edition vs. the regular editions?

 

[Magnus]

Subbed. Ty!

 

[Divvy]

Also, I got the CS4 master collection from my school a few years ago, if I only want to upgrade specific programs, can I do that? Or do I have to upgrade the whole master collection?

 

[Marty Chinn]

What's the difference between the student & teacher edition vs. the regular editions?

This:

- Each eligible person may purchase only one copy of each product per platform per year.

- Student & Teacher Edition software may be used on your privately-owned computer only.

- The software is not transferrable, meaning it may not be resold or given to others.

- You validate eligibility after placing your order to receive your unique serial number key.

- Student editions cannot be upgraded to other education editions – but do receive Adobe’s discounted upgrade pricing to all regular commercial versions

 

[Gouty]

Yeahhhh but I'm not currently a student.......

Suite 5.5 Master Collection for $179.80???

FUCK YES

Where do you see that price? Maybe I'm looking at the wrong page.

 

[NumberTwo]

Fuck. Yes. Thank you.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Where do you see that price? Maybe I'm looking at the wrong page.

Take 80% off $899.

 

[harriet the spy]

Is there any difference with the non student version? Does it stop working after a fixed amount of time or something? Or do you just need to prove you're a student?

Five posts up.....

 

[Escape Goat]

a student/teacher thread that isn't about sex offenders? shock.

 

[harriet the spy]

Sorry, I am an asshole :/ I quickly skimmed the thread but somehow missed it.

 

[Vyer]

Take 80% off $899.

Oh, those are the regular price? That's pretty great.

 

[Magnus]

Alright, hold on a second here.

Maybe I totally missed something, but I don't see a thing in terms and conditions about having to be a student or teacher, or how/where to provide education identification.

Is this an honor system thing? Or will entering the save80 code prompt a drop down where you'll be required to enter your school and ID#?

Edit- missed the FAQ page entirely. Never mjnd

Also, is this US only?

 

[Firestorm]

Oh, those are the regular price? That's pretty great.

Regular Price: $2599.00
Regular Student Price: $899.00
Student Price with Coupon: $179.80

 

[Phonomezer]

Oh shit, excellent timing.

Thanks OP!

Edit: Oh US, Canada & Mexico only

You have to verify that you are a student or teacher.

Scroll up on the FAQ that the OP posted.

No. You need to send them ID and proof that you are attending school. It's available in all territories I believe.

 

[Magnus]

Yup saw that. Thanks.

G'damn. Been out of school 10 months, and can't seem to find a loophole to do this. What a great price.

I'm grateful I at least got Windows 7 Ultimate and the latest Office for both Windows and Mac for free through my school.

Edit-

Ok, I don't know if this is kosher or not, but if I have a student friend who isn't going to take advantage of this themselves, is there any way for them to do all the registration/proof for this, and then have me step in and actually complete the download from the Store on my computer?

 

[Timo]

Oh my God.

This is a better deal than my first Design Premium CS3 for $33. But that was well after CS4 came out.

 

[Messypandas]

Sorry for being dumb but are the prices listed currently rrepresentative of before or after the reduction? can't go through the checkout and apply the coupon to check currently

 

[Sarcasm]

Is it worth it if there is a newer one coming out?

 

[dabig2]

before reduction. For example, site lists Photoshop CS5 as $199, but the coupon code knocked it down to $39.80.

Mother of God... Thanks

 

[Branduil]

So, uh, is there any acceptable school that is still accepting registration now, and is really cheap?

 

[Prophet Steve]

Hmmm, Master Collection for 110 euros excl. VAT? So that's about 122 euros if I pick the download. Not bad. Still want Adobe Premiere, After Effects and Audition. So this is a nice coincidence.

Right now I have a Design Premium but I believe it is only valid for a year. Will this be valid forever?

Is it worth it if there is a newer one coming out?

You have to decide that for yourself, but I know many people who still work with CS3 or CS4 and they seem to be perfectly capable with it.

 

[Kusagari]

Shit, buying Photoshop now. It will be way better than going to school to use the labs whenever I need to edit my pictures in it.

 

[LyleLanley]

Time to find someone who's still in school.

 

[anonymous_abc]

wawawiwa, till when is this valid?


so will this somehow work for outside of NA?

 

[DominoKid]

tag

although i wonder if this will even work on my computer.

I don't know until this is valid, there is an extra 50 euros/40 pounds of for packages and that is valid until the 16th.

And yes, it is international.

That says its a saving on top of the 80% reduction

 

[gerg]

Hmm... I just tried entering the code at the European checkout, and it said that the code isn't valid.

Get that the same thing at the UK store, too. Does Adobe ship American software to the UK?

 

[Prophet Steve]

Damnit, my Student Card does not show any date.

yea same here, I tried different stores but they only give the 50 off, without allowing the voucher.

 

[Prophet Steve]

Yeah, also doesn't work for me. I'm trying to contact support, see if it is an error.

Is it possible to use the US store and the download method?

EDIT: According to support that is not possible.

so what else did they say? is this valid outside the US?

 

[Prophet Steve]

so what else did they say? is this valid outside the US?

They are saying now it is only valid for the US. It is an error on the website.

Well, they are not saying it is an error. Just that the offer is only valid in the US.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Aah man, if only the deal lasted until a couple days after the end date (when I get money), I'd get probably Master Collection...

 

[Messypandas]

But the offers plastered all over the european site and they have "80% reduction is not enough - save an extra £40/€50" which is only available to european customers. i'll be miffed if i can't get this what a cock-teasr

ideed.

and for some reason the download version is 20€ more than the hardcopy version in the German store...

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Oh crap, I really want Design Premium or Master Collection... but I don't have a computer to run them on.

I know, I pointed it out, but the only response I got was that the offer was only valid for the US and that I was not able to buy something from there.
