When Adobe was selling the suites outright Up To and including CS5.5 the cost to Australians was over 3 times as much as what it cost in the US and that excludes the Currency Exchange rate. - In the US it was like about $1200 US for the suite yet in Australia it was over $3800 US and yes that was directly from the Adobe Site. There were Educational versions which were a little cheaper, BUT you had to be enrolled in a recognised School/TAFE or University, And it was originally limited to a 12 month use period (From Memory). Now there is subscription I believe that the cost is pretty much the same world-wide, BUT you never actually own it, and if you fail to pay the subscription it will be disabled eventually.
