Having already owned Studio 8 which was an upgraded from Studio MX.
I was looking at my upgrade options for CS3. I was able to upgrade to CS3 Web Premium for only $500.
This is a great deal, even though I only really use Flash & Dreamweaver I get a host of other goodies that are of value including.
Acrobat
Contribute
Fireworks
Illistrator
Photoshop
I've always wanted Photoshop but could never afford it. It's a smart move by Adobe as they are bringing in long time Alaire / Macromedia people into the rest of their product suite. I've made a conscience decision to drop my current graphics program (Ulead PhotoImpact 12) and do everything in Photoshop. And the stuff I used to do in Corel Draw I will now do in Illistrator.
Why, because I got them for free, they are good products which are the industy standard.
Well done Adobe

How do you do it for $500? (USD I assume) in Melbourne? The cheapest I've seen in Melbourne is AUD$758 which is still US$620-ish.

We have an office in the US so I can buy it out of the us.
Even in AU$ it's not too bad.
But buy it out of us if you can.
I've seen it at City Software for $759.
The pricing strategy for the suites cross geographic borders is pretty interesting I think. What makes the "AU" version a couple hundred dollars more expensive than the US one? It's not like they're translating it into a different language for us...
It's because they can.
Lucky you. My upgrade cost me £550.55 - AUD$1,323.75 or USD$1,095.539. For exactly the same software.
Be careful about the licence - its not quite legit to have a US copy in another country... Even though you actually paid for it.
