I'm about to make a large software purchase in the form of Adobe's Creative Suite 3 Web Premium. Adobe is selling it for $1,599 US. Amazon is selling it for $1,553 (a total savings of 3%, plus free shipping). I've heard that Adobe's online store is horrible, but purchasing directly from the manufacturer, I'd presume I'd be certain to get the box, any paper manuals, wrapping, etc. that is supposed to come with it. Purchasing from a 3rd party (even Amazon) - sometimes the fine print is accidentally left out - I might get a partial product (such as some online stores selling the upsell version, which I cannot use as I still am using Photoshop v5 at home - too old for an upgrade/upsell purchase, and I don't think my academic version of Flash will suffice).
Does anyone have any opinions on the matter? I trust Amazon. I don't trust myself at buying the right product, but with Alex King's problem with Adobe's store, I'm not sure if I should even trust Adobe. What would you do?
...my work discount is negligible.
