Adobe 'subscription' licenses for individuals

[localzuk]

I've been looking at purchasing my own copy of CS5.5 Master suite, and have noticed they now do subscriptions as well as out and out purchases.

 

For £140 a month, (with a 12 month commitment) you get the full Master suite, or £210 for a month by month payment (no commitment).

 

You can also get the individual products separately, or the other suites (web suite is £85/130pm for example)

 

What do others think?

buy outright, you pay less in total. I paid £895 for my master collection (which they buggered up on an update, but then fixed), and it was more than worth it. £895 = less than £1680 (over the course a year). Save up for 6 months then buy it in 1 hit and be happy that you dont pay more! haha

The master suite is nowhere near £895! I'm not talking about academic or student editions, I'm on about full retail for those wanting to do business stuff with it. It is over £2k for a full license - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Adobe-Creative-Suite-Master-Collection/dp/B004V9223E/ref=sr_1_3?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1313166828&sr=1-3
