I had a look at the subscription-based payments earlier on today. My wife is in need of a copy of one of the design suites (either standard or premium) and we're looking into ways of making that happen.On paper the subscription sounds like a great thing, but the reality is that the cost is pretty high. Over the course of a year, it looks like you pay well over half if not close to three-quarters of the value of the programme/suite and yet you still don't own it.
Personally if I had to fork out that much cash, I'd rather look into financing, and actually own something at the end of it. Atleast that way you can look at the upgrades to CS6/7/8/9/x in the future.
It's true that Adobe have a monopoly, but I'd rather not have it any other way. I remember when Silverlight came out as the 'Flash-killer'... all it meant was another programme to learn when it didn't offer any major advances over Flash. I just wish they'd offer some kind of low-cost finance options to buy the programmes/suites outright.
