According to Rob Galbraith DPI, Adobe is changing their upgrade policy for their Photoshop and other Creative Suite applications. Basically, in the past, if you could purchase an upgrade license if you owned an existing version up to 3 versions back.
It seems though starting with CS6, you will need to own the previous major release i.e. CS5 and above (includes CS5.1, 5.5) to be eligible for upgrade - otherwise you'll need to fork out for a full version.

Bit draconian if you ask me - I know plenty of people who tend to skip versions as there may not be enough to warrant an upgrade each time - especially for non-commercial or home users.
