I like one of the comments:

Let me get this straight - in my case I bought CS3, CS4 and I skipped CS5 because their wasn't a compelling reason to upgrade. The features of CS5 weren't dramatically better than CS4 is for me.

So now I get to pay $199 less 20% and then pay another $199 to upgrade to CS6? The full price of CS5 ia $699. So I guess my upgrade to CS6 is $159+$199=$358 if the upgrade price is still $199.

I think I paid just shy of $400 for CS3 and about $199 to upgrade to CS4.

Adobe I hope you price yourselves out of this market! I was going to upgrade to CS6 for which I would have paid the $199. But almost twice that - get real! I'll pass and I hope a lot of people do.

(if it's not apparent from previous discussions, Adobe is offering a 20% discount for customers on older versions to "catch up" to CS5, for the privilege of then upgrading to CS6 for $199.)
