Where to buy CS4?

[Fireball]

I've finally decided to go with CS4 instead of 3 but am leery of where I buy anything now (see cs3 ripoff post) so....I've been researching online and have seen hundreds of dollars difference in numerous places.

Anybody know anything about Discount Mountain Software? They have high ratings and a 30-day return policy but are about $200 cheaper than other stores which makes me just a tad bit nervous! Of course just cuz something is higher priced somewhere else doesn't make it better quality.

Any other recommendations?

I purchased it from UOP with a student discount of 80%. You might want to try that type of educational resource.

What / Who, is UOP?

Well I'm not a student so that wouldn't be legitimate.

I would be too. Why would adobe.com allow Discount Mountain to deep discount their software? Adobe.com = piece of mind.

Amazon... Apple store (if you have a mac)... best buy has some product... I would buy from Adobe!

If you want a physical copy and piece of mind, retail store, ie, Apple store or BestBuy. If you want an online retailer, Amazon, B & H, Adorama, jr.com, abes of maine, any of the photo retailers. Also, with the online retailers, they are sometimes cheaper than other avenues. BH = 640, Amazon = 642.50

If you can live with a digital copy, direct from adobe.com.

UOP (university of phoenix) actually has Adobe send a disc.
