CC has been introduced in June last year, CS6 is still available. There are two major differences, CS6 is a perpetual license, CC is only rental. CS6 is frozen, no new features, no new bugs, CC is updated on a regular basis, giving you new features and new bugs. People updating from a previous version of Master Collection can do so for the sum of $ 525, disregarding rebates. That is the end of the story for them. They can use that version perpetually, even in 5 years time. People going for the rental model pay far more, even in the 9 months since introduction, they would have paid $ 85 per month (at least over here) for a sum total of $ 765, only to have the benefit of all the new features AND bugs. In five years time they have paid $ 5.100 if Adobe does not increase prices in the meantime, which is highely unlikely. And after having paid that astronomical amount they are left with zilch when they end their subscription. CS6 users can continue using their license indefinitely. See the difference?
