I expect Adobe, Autodesk and others to move to a "cloud/subscription" model eventually and stop selling stand alone licensed versions. I don't mind it though. I always need/want to have the newest releases and feel comfortable paying for it like a utility bill instead of a large investment.

I've always bought into the Production Premium bundle but something tells me that Cloud people will get first crack at this upgrade. Maybe I'm just paranoid. Anyway, I don't want to miss out on this discount if thats to be the case.
thanks
That "something telling you" is actually Adobe. No paranoia required :) Adobe has made it clear ever since the launch of the cloud that new features will be cloud first. The cloud model changes the paradigm of release windows considerably compared to the bundled retail software release model.
