Adobe's Creative Suite 3 Shipping, After Effects and Premiere Pro Betas

I just got off the phone with Adobe UK to ask when my prouct would be shipping and I got this information from them.


All available full price downloads are available (since Monday) for download.

All available full price boxed products will be shipping nearer the end of April

All available Student Price products won't ship until June 2nd - and that includes Student downloads too.


So that's me having to wait another month and a half! Dang.

My local Apple Store had several versions on the shelf Monday!
Any announcement on when a Elements version is coming out???
 
I just spoke with Adobe and they said that their warehouse was a little backed up from all the pre-orders. I ordered my CS3 Production Premium the day after the announcement and it has yet to ship.

:edit - my bad, i ordered the design premium, not production premium.

Only the Design and Web Editions are shipping right now. The Production Premium package is going to be shipped in July 2007.
 
8-Core Mac Pro w/30" display .............. $4300
FinalCut Studio 2 ................................ $1300
Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection... $2500

Having someone else pay for it ... priceless!
 
Has adobe made any announcements about 8 core or 64 bit support for these apps?
 
A few questions if anyone knows:

Do the apple stores stock the educational versions and do they have them in stock at this time?

Can anyone confirm that the actual apple store price for the Web Premium Edu versions is indeed $100 more than if you purchased it from Adobe directly? Or is this a misprint on Apple's store website?

Going to try and pick this up on the way home if I can get the edu version from the apple store...
 
I don't understand why the student packages are scheduled to ship so much later than the rest. As far as I'm aware the only difference is the licensing agreement so why it takes a month extra to ship I just don't know. I've had my education order approved so am now in the waiting process, I was really hoping it would ship in time to arrive with my new mac but alas not to be :(

The Adobe website also says it takes within 48 hours to ship.

Actually, I bought CS3 design Premium yesterday, and it was available as a nice little 2.9G download. It makes my MacBook feel like a new computer. It's so nice to be using Photoshop at decent speeds again...

other than the intel native speed, the upgrade is a little "meh". The UI improvements are probably my favorite thing so far. Refine edge is a cool idea, but I haven't really figured it out yet.

The guy I spoke to at adobe was like, "well, why don't you just buy the full version if you want it so soon!"

Ay, right... not on my student loan thanks.

I meant the boxed packages :p

As for student boxes, I don't know why it's shipping so much later. Maybe it's only UK-specific? I know that the commercial versions have top priority, but shipping it a month later is just ridiculous.

Total speculation on my part, but it may be to foil commercial users who might have got the edu version somehow if it were available now. It also may be an intentional move to not ship edu versions before the end of the schoolyear to avoid making school sellers have to deal with it at an awkward time. I can imagine a student getting it in the middle of a final project and running into a compatibility problem or other issue and not being able to finish.

has anyone's pre-order shipped? I ordered mine in march and it still says "pending" at the Adobe site...?? wtf?

I called Adobe yesterday about the upgrade order I placed on the 11th and was told it was still in processing. It does not show up in the store under orders placed either. So hopefully soon.

yeah, mine shows as placed obviously but still pending. I've got an intel mac here and have been waiting for this for about 6 months...:mad:

I've got a call out with Adobe on that very question.

I have the student/teacher edition of Studio 8, and want to upgrade to the full (non-academic) Design Premium CS3.

I'm fairly sure the answer is yes, but I just want written confirmation from Adobe.

On a side note - is Amazon the cheapest place in the UK to order CS3 Design Premium upgrade from? It's fifty odd quid less than Adobe.

Heard back from Adobe. You CAN upgrade from edu to full retail, BUT you can't just buy the Upgrade box - you have to contact Adobe and give them your details, inc. serial number and proof of purchase of the original box.

This is highly annoying as it's 18 months since I bought my edu version and no longer have the receipt, although I registered my copy of Studio 8 as soon as I got it back in November 2005.

Called Adobe again today and was told that orders were being filled in the order they were received. So I guess a million people are ahead of me? Gotta be patient. :rolleyes:
