PSE/PE bundle purchase

[Ellie Dee]

I am considering the purchase of the new PSE/PE bundle. I do not have PE software but do have PSE 5.0 and am, as a result, entitled to a discounted price from Adobe. I understand that PE 3.0 came with a 250-page manual in the boxed version. I have tried PE 3.0 and would definitely want such a hard copy manual in addition to what is available on the help within the program. Can someone who has the boxed version ordered from Adobe tell me whether the printed manual was shipped with the bundle? In addiition, I would be interested in knowing whether a boxed bundle version bought from a regular store contained the 250-page manual rather than a short guide and whether that product also contained a coupon for an upgrade rebate.

amazon.com has the bundle for a nice price, and it includes a $30 rebate. Here's the link:

PSE6/PE4 Bundle from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Photoshop-Elements-Premiere-4/dp/B000UK8LI8/ref=pd_bbs_sr_6/103-8474877-4459818?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1191858070&sr=8-6)

I don't see mention of the manual, though - someone will have to confirm that.

p.s. Regrettably, offer looks like US only at this time....:(

I got the upgrade box bundle; Elements has an 18-page "Getting Started" booklet. Premiere has a 195-page "User Guide."

Thank you, Es and Chuck, for your helpful replies.

Chuck - Do you mean the YouTube link? If so, it'd be a good idea to take it out of the passage you quoted. (The original post has presumably been deleted by Tami et al, but the link is still in yours.) :(

Nick, when I get a message like that with a bunch of garbled words, I assume the worst. Now that the threat (or presumed threat) has been removed, I deleted my post. Just trying to warn the troops against clicking on a possibly hazardous link.... And you're right - I shouldn't have left it in mine (that's what I get for trying to think at 4:45 am.....

I bought PSE 5.0 with PE 3.0 at Best Buys. I got the Manual with 250 pages for both of the programs. I didn't get a coupon for an upgrade rebate though. Hope this helps!
