This is a standard question with a standard answer:

Who knows, does not tell, who doesn't know, tells BS.

ProDesign,

Welcome to the forum and thanks for the link. As the excitement builds and speculation ramps up, having some tid-bits will always be appreciated. Every little morsel helps.

Thanks Bill...  You may also find this of interest, another new "morsel" today:

    Source: “Rapidly approaching … Adobe releasing a new suite of products”

Whoops, sorry - I meant to post that in this thread instead, as followup to the original question here on when CS5 would be released!  Hope this helps settle the matter...

    Adobe  CS5 Global Launch will be April 12th

So the release countdown hype was a joke? I went to download CS5 MC trial, put in my info, and it said it will lemme know when it becomes available for download/purchase. Apprently it is not available for purchase because it saya"preorder." And it's not available for download either. So what was the hype about? I am missing something here.

Hi Asian, today is the launch date for the new product, revealing of the new features and functionality, and the start of pre-order.  Then within some weeks the release of the product and trials will happen, with shipments rolling through different languages and market segments.  It happened the same way with CS4 and CS3.

If you like you can check out our blog and probably get some more answers to these questions, we've been covering it fairly closely.

I just ordered Premiere Pro CS5 upgrade from the Adobe store.  Estimated availability was April 29!  Amazon is saying June 30.  Are they restricting

supplies to retailers?

4-12 of course, oh wait, that was just a LIE

CS5 was Released to the public by announcement from NAB on the 12 of April which is 4/12/2010

Where is the lie?

You seem to have some kind of serious issue and need an "attitude " adjustment before you are likely to get any assistance.

chill with the language. i received emails from the forums from both of you to my work email address with your retarded comment. you should be banned from the forums. I mean cmon your using the f-word to proclaim a factual statement about the NAB announcement of cs5? thats like posting "the ^%$@#&!^@% sky is blue!"

what are you like 12 years old or something?  obviously you are if you use the childish videogame term "fanboys"  We are in america and has been tradition for many many years now adobe has always shown a sneak peak of the upcoming release of their software every year at the NAB convention. no one is pathetic, no one is walking on anyone. get a clue. just because "call of duty 6" was "announced", doesnt mean you can buy it that day. (or pirate it for you most likely i would bet)

Right now, it appears that the ship start-date will be mid-May. Time will tell. Not sure if the pre-sale notice has any mention of the exact ship-date.

As we're only users here (all the Adobe folk, who might be hanging and helping are probably at NAB), we can only speculate and wait.

Looks like Encore is getting some new stuff too: http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/encore/

Thank you for that info. So far, those who know are not saying, and then we, who do not know, are but guessing.

Appreciate those dates, as others will likely benefit from them. In case Adobe does their normal "grace period," others will benefit, as well.

the fooding sky is blue.

I pre-ordered CS5, and they told me it would ship on April 30th, and I should receive it around May 7th.

Thanks ruzun for the post.  An April 30th date is being corroborated by others...  http://bit.ly/bMmPaH  Terry White even commented on it yesterday.

I think Harm is on the money. I had pre-ordered my upgrade at Newegg.com and it shows it shipping May 3rd. As I said in the Photoshop forum, I'm not etching this in my cornerstone, but it certainly looks promising!

However, today  saw J&R Music World selling the upgrade for $529, and if you search through Bing CashBack, it drops the price to $507 in the end. Just ordered THAT, now cancelling the Newegg Pre-order. If this keeps going we may get this upgrade for $300, lol!
