Adobe Raise CS4 UK Prices by 10%

Adobe are set to raise the price of CS4 by 10% on the 1st July 2009.
According to Adobe this will bring UK prices in line with the rest of Europe due to the change in GBP/EUR.

To make this happen they're also dropping the Euro price by up to 13%.
The US prices will remain the same however making it an even worse deal of the UK compared to US prices.

Adobe's US store sells Design Premium CS4 for $1,799 - £1,098 at today's exchange rate. The new UK price will make the same software £1,578 (inc VAT) over here, a difference of £480.

Adobe have stated in their press release:
"Adobe seeks to price consistently across Europe to the extent that circumstances and market conditions make this possible, the current economic environment and currency fluctuations have made this challenging. This change to the CS4 pricing is intended to realign the UK with other European countries."

So if you're considering a move to CS4 now is the time to do it.
