Default Cheap Legal version of CS3

Anyone know where I can get the best price on a legal version of CS3 (Windows version) that has a good reputation of not ripping people off? Some of the venders sound too good to be true on their prices so they probably are. Any info would be appreciated.

If anyone in the family is enrolled in college, educational pricing can be had for $200-300.

I just bought my girlfriend an unregistered full version of CS2 on eBay for $219.00 including shipping. And I am waiting on a $42.00 rebate from microsoft live which will bring the price down to about $175.00. Then, you can buy the upgrade for $199 so you have less than $400 in a full version.

I got my full version a few years ago by buying PS5 for $65 and then buying the upgrade to PSCS for $199. I have since upgraded to CS3.

Just watch the sellers feedback and make sure of what you are buying.

Good luck!

Your kid can be in grade school and you can still get the discount. All you need is his/her school i.d. Academicsuperstore.com is one such legitimate place.

I have a new unopened full version of CS sitting here (not CS2). Not sure if there is an upgrade path but I'll check.

I know it is not CS3 but there is a free clone of PS called Gimp

GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program

It has many of the features and is free to boot. No I am not related to site or program in any way. I was looking for free programs that I can install on my work computer and found this one.

I would suggest looking at Adobe PhotoShop Elements, 90%of the full PhotoShop program at a greatly reduces price. If you have been a Elements user there is a special pricing for an upgrade from Elements to PhotoShop available direct form Adobe (or there was when I upgraded).
