If you have cash to spare then i would get a CS3 package, but, if you are the average user and not the son of either a millionaire or an adobe employer , then i would do as jack says, get hold of version 8.

I have got CS3 at home, (not rich id just like to add, just have good friends ), and use 8 at college, CS3 is obviously shineyer etc, but if i were choosing i would 100% go for 8, much better value for money.

What is it you are going to be using it for?
