Yeah, and the Adobe site says it's "now shipping", too. I ordered the retail package, but my order status is still pending.

Has anyone pre-ordered the retail version (not the download product), and if so, has it shipped yet?

I need the new features really bad on a couple of images...

I pre-ordered and got my shipping confirmation this morning. I've got tracking details as well.

I pre-ordered from NewEgg. Status still shows on hold awaiting arrival. I'm not in a huge rush and didn't have to pay tax and only $2 shipping for a total of $192.99. Just praying most of my plug-ins work.

For those with any AlienSkin plug-ins, get ready to break out the wallet unless you want to run in 32bit. I received an email saying they are upgrading to Exposure 3 to replace 2. Version 2 will still run in 32 bit, but it's a $99 upgrade to get the 64 bit version. They claim new features, but I'm not spending another c-note until I find out exactly what. I don't know about Nik, will have to check in with them...

Count yourself lucky if there's even a 64-bit upgrade offered for all your plugins. Photoshop has been 64-bit since CS4 (for Windows), and I'm still waiting for 64-bit options from some plugins.

I bought from Adobe, downloaded, and I have the complete CS5 master suite installed and licensed. PS5 is still set to use 16GB from the prerelease testing :-)

Maybe I should have just bought the download version. I pre-ordered a couple weeks ago, but my order is still showing "pending". I've heard from several people that they have already gotten tracking info on their pre-order.

I called sales to inquire about the status, but it says the hold time is longer than 1 hour! Sigh...

Gotta love Adobe.

I bought the pre-order a few weeks ago from Adobe. My order shows pending, so I am waiting for my email :(

[Chief]

Got the download 1 tb.

So far it's OK I like some of the new options. Still playing though.
