Adobe UK vs US Pricing
I purchased a copy of Adobe's "Creative Suite 3 Web Premium" today, but I did so via the Adobe US store rather than the UK store and saved £604/$1209 by doing so.
Adobe sell the product for $1599 on the US site coming in $1,209 cheaper than the UK store list price of £1404.02 ($2,808). Even without VAT (UK Tax) the product is £1,195 ($2,390) from the UK store, a $790 premium over the US price.
You will need a US credit card / billing address to purchase from the US store.
I'm sure if Adobe ever comment on the matter they will come up with something along the lines of "UK support costs.....". Well I don't know about any of you, but I have never in my life called any sort of software technical support line.
Shame on Adobe for charging Brits nearly twice the amount that they charge people in the US.
