Photoshop CS6 for MAC

[mattx]

Why is it, it's £649 in the Apple store and from here:

 

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Mac Full Edition - Electronic Download | iSoftware

 

only £329

 

What am I missing ?

Because it's 'cooler' from the Apple store and will make you look hip.

[Abaddon]

Hmm.. probably because they ramp the cost of everything up, all the time!

 

[mattx]

I was thinking it was because it was for two licenses but I don't see that stated on the Apple Store - may have missed it....

What am I missing?

~£660 is what Photoshop normally costs from Adobe. Amazon sell it for £647.83 and Apple are only charging a fiver more than Adobe.

 

iSoftware's price sounds a bit suspect?

[mattx]

I've sent them an E-mail asking how its so cheap. Will be interesting to read if I get a reply.

why not sign up to adobe creative cloud £17.58pm for single app or https://creative.adobe.com/plans

[mattx]

Just read the terms etc - the software needs to phone home every 30 days so if you decide not continue paying anymore you can't use the software. Sounds like a business model that EA knock out. One big Con.

Then they wonder why people go and visit sites like TPP.....
