For Photoshop, Pixelmator, a paid Mac app, has definitely undercut them. It's $60.

And it's not just cheaper, it's less buggy and faster.

Adobe CS isn't just unpopular because of its pricing, it's really inconsistent, painful software.

To anybody reading this: I highly recommend Pixelmator. It has a free trial, check it out.

I own and love pixelmator, especially given the price, but I think it bears mentioning that it doesn't have full PSD support. While understandable, not being able to edit a type layer within a PSD (type is rasterized upon import) can be problematic when working with others or updating a file.
