Reportedly aimed at "print and publishing professionals", the standard bundle will include InDesign CS3, Photoshop CS3, Illustrator CS3, and Acrobat 8 Professional.

Aimed at web developers, the standard edition will include Flash CS3 Professional, Dreamweaver CS3, Fireworks CS3, and Contribute CS3. The premium edition will add Photoshop CS3 Extended, Illustrator CS3, and Acrobat 8 Professional for more demanding users.
CS3 Production Premium
For filmmakers and video production professionals, Adobe will be issuing Production Premium containing Photoshop CS3 Extended, Illustrator CS3, Flash CS3 Professional, After Effects CS3 Professional, Premier Pro CS3, Soundbooth CS3, and Encore CS3.
Lastly, Adobe will market a package of all of the CS3 products under the name of Master Collection. For further reading, AppleInsider has the rumored product matrix along with European pricing listed on its site.
Adobe has a press conference scheduled for next Tuesday in New York in which CS3 packages and pricing will be discussed.

That product matrix is getting a little congested, to my eyes anyway.
This is also known as Vista effect...poor Adobe...more and more like crappy MS...especially in terms of marketing...couldn't be worse. What's next now? Adobe Creative Suite Premium Luxury Business Web Developers Edition? Gimme a break...

Has Adobe usually released the Academic versions of the CS alongside the regular releases? If so, I would be thrilled. I'm purchasing Photoshop CS3 in June, and the Academic version would save me lots of $$$$.

The pricing looks a little muffed up on the Appleinsider site: you only get Photoshop CS3 in the Design Standard grid? I think not.
Edit: Oops. I missed the "Photoshop CS3 Extended" entry. Now I'm confused.
Wait. Friday afternoon. Look, there's a pub.
Bye.

I think it's interesting how with the pricing of Adobe products there are in reality two extremes: people who pay nothing for it (warez) and people who pay for it (very expensive). I guess it's the type of software some people use for their career. It's frustrating for me, as a college student, I just like playing with PhotoShop and GoLive (well, not any more lol, I guess I would switch to Dreamweaver). At least it's coming!
You think if everyone who uses Adobe products paid for them the price would be lower for everyone????? Are the prices higher because they know some people will steal it?
