crazy-prices

Hey guys today I’ll be a bit polemic but i think that the differences in term of price, that i’m gonna show you ,are something unbelivable..

In the common sense to be a graphic designer usually you need at least 3 instruments: the Adobe Softwares, a Mac and a Wacom Tablet..

In this particular case I’m considering the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium, the MacBook Pro 15”, the Wacom Intuos 3 A5 or 6”x8”.

Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium directly from the site adobe.com: US 1799 $, UK 1436 £, IT 2638 € and converting them all in € >> US 1391 € > UK 1643 € > IT 2638 €..

MacBook Pro 15” directly form the site apple.com: US 2000 $, UK 1370 £, IT 1800 € and converting them all in € >> US 1579 € > UK 1548 € > IT 1800 €..

Wacom Intuos 3 A5 or 6”x8” directly from the site wacom.com: US 329 $, UK 227 £, IT 329 € and converting them all in € >> US 260 € > UK 256 € > IT 329 €..

Now the total price in € >> US 3230 € > UK 3447 € > IT 4767 €

DO YOU THINK THAT THIS IS NORMAL???????

I’ve heard that before, for CS3/4, Adobe need to put much effort on international texts handling, and the cost is paid by the higher price of the IT version.

ok but if we want the english version (so no cost to translate) it’s still 2300€ or more…

I can tell you that as a student in the U.S I get a discount. I paid $949.00 for the CS4 master collection. Student discounts are a huge bonus when it comes to buying software.

I know. I’m italian, and I’m a disigner. I speak english quite well, but if you are young and you want to start your activity is very difficult to sustain it.

In terms of text handling, there shouldn’t be any difference between the American and British versions of CS4, yet you still can almost buy a new tablet with the difference!
