If you’ve been clamoring to get your hands on Adobe’s new Creative Suite 6 products, today is your lucky day: CS6 is now shipping and available for immediate purchase and download. Unfortunately, the new Creative Cloud service won’t follow until this Friday.
Adobe Systems Incorporated has announced the immediate availability of Creative Suite 6, its latest and greatest bundle of creative software. The company has released four such bundles this year: Creative Suite 7 Design & Web Premium, Creative Suite 6 Design Standard, Creative Suite 6 Production Premium and Creative Suite 6 Master Collection, which assembles all of the creative software under one shingle.
Unfortunately, the company’s highly anticipated Creative Cloud offering is MIA at the moment -- Adobe expects it to arrive this Friday, May 11, along with CS6 point product subscriptions. No reason was given for the delay, which will certainly come as a bummer to those of us ready to fork over $49.99 per month for all of its cloud-based goodness on top of the entire CS6 Master Collection and more.
“We announced Creative Cloud and CS6 two weeks ago and these releases have caught the imagination of creatives everywhere,” said David Wadhwani, senior vice president, Digital Media Business, Adobe. “Today we're shipping CS6 and look forward to the beginning of an exciting new era as we introduce Creative Cloud later this week.”
Adobe Creative Suite 6 and be purchased and downloaded immediately from the Adobe Store, with boxed copies available from all Adobe Authorized Resellers. Retail prices range from $2,599 for CS6 Master Collection, $1,899 for CS6 Production Premium, $1,899 for CS6 Design & Web Premium, and $1,299 for CS6 Design Standard. Upgrade and education pricing as well as volume licensing are also available, with full details on the Adobe website.
