Adobe Creative Suite 5 (CS5) to Ship Mid-May – Pricing Announced

Posted in Software, on April 12th, 2010 by Carlos.

Adobe has announced that the CS5 entourage of products will be available mid-may and is up for pre-order on their website now. Also, the pricing has been made official. Here are some of the different packages available and pricing grabbed from their website:

  • Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium will sell for $1899 USD, upgrade for $599 USD
  • Adobe Creative Suite 5 Web Premium will sell for $1799 USD, upgrade for $599 USD
  • Adobe Creative Suite 5 Production Premium will sell for $1699 USD, upgrade for $599 USD
  • and the Death Star of the Adobe CS5 lineup, Adobe Creative Suite 5 Master Collection will sell for $2599 USD, upgrade for $899 USD

As always adoption of the new software suites is generally slow in the professional realm as printers and agencies have to evaluate the costs, budget for it and finally upgrade all their machines. I have a couple clients that are quick on the upgrade so I’ll be waiting for their cue before I take the plunge. [Adobe via BusinessWire via Gizmodo]
