I am about to try out a Bamboo Fun “tablet” (It is a basically a pen and pad, that functions like a mouse but seems to allow more precision, as best as I can tell). As I was registering the product, the walk through messages indicated that Bamboo tablet owners could get 50% off Adobe CS4. (Maybe they meant the full version, as opposed to just the Photoshop version?) At any rate, with the tablet coming in somewhere around $100, and seeming to be a pretty cool toy/tool, that would be a good deal. Just thought I would give folks a heads up if they are thinking about getting CS4.
It also comes pre-packaged with a free copy of Photoshop Elements 6.0, if that works better for your needs.
Cheers,
Aaron
For goodness sake, if you can get CS4 for 1/2 off – do it! I find that improbable though. Full version vs. Photoshop version is a non-sequitur. Many professionals I know use tablets exclusively – not even using a mouse any longer. I find 1/2 off any Adobe product almost “too good to be true”. shannon

It does seem like a good deal and almost certainly too good to be true for anything Adobe — but it is there (maybe with wiggle room). I went back to double check and here is exactly what it said:
Adobe Photoshop CS4
Adobe would like to recognize the creative talents of our valued Wacom tablet customers in working with digital images. Experience the power of the gold standard in digital imaging, Adobe® Photoshop® CS4 software, at a great price. The groundbreaking technology is intuitive and gives you even more powerful creative tools and greater control to achieve the most sophisticated results. If you can imagine it, you can create it with Adobe Photoshop CS4.Then it says save 50% off. Digging deeper as if I were to take advantage of the deal, it says
Get Adobe Photoshop CS4 for up to 50% off
To take advantage of this offer, we need a few things— your name, your email address, and the serial number and model number of your BambooFun tablet
Maybe that is the catch — “up to.”
They don’t advertise the deal on the package but it shows up as part of product registration.
I already paid full price :o) for an older version several years ago but I thought someone else might be interested.
Hateful…just plain hateful! I guess my dreams of a new rod and reel under the tree are now dead :'(.
