Best place to buy CS4?

OK, I thought I had a great deal on Amazon and plunked down $300 and bought a new real certified legit copy of CS4 Extended. Only when i got it the serial number was crap. Luckily I was able to get my money back through Amazon's money back guarantee.

So I am back to square one. I am cheap and refuse to spend $1000 on this software. There are seemingly legit places that sell it for $400 - 500.

Has anyone bought CS4 someplace other than directly from Adobe? If so, where.

I found Discount Mountain Software in Denver that sells it for $489. Full retail version.

And OEM Downloads has a price of $99 that just has to be a rip off, right?

Are ya going to college or night school, or know someone who is? If so, you could grab one of the Student versions. Those are usually about $200 or so.

I did think of one other thing-Wacom has this deal where if you register one of the newer tablets, they'll then give ya a link direct to Adobe where you can get CS4 for $300. I think any tablet that's a Bamboo or above qualifies for the special pricing.
