I bought mine on a student discount. Collection for $300... which became useless cause they of course "update" every year. But if you know someone who's still going to school maybe you can ask them to buy it for you (you'd pay them back of course... or not).
Photoshop is usually okay but the other programs... if you use the newer version you cannot open in the older version. Trying to explain this to people is difficult about how they have to "Export" it to a different format so it can be opened in an older version.
In other words, it's stupid that it's not backwards compatible to at least 1-2 versions.
I believe Photoshop and some other programs will be "rented" out... you pay a monthly subscription fee to use the program. But meh...
