Adobe Creative Suite 3 unboxing video

by David Chartier Apr 25th 2007

Creative Suite 3 Web Premium arrived, and boy is it packing a punch. Before we get to dissecting the intricacies of this major upgrade, we thought it would be fun to step it up a notch in the 'I got a new [thing]' space on the internets with an unboxing video. Yep - the days of unboxing pictures are numbered, as video is the inarguable craze these days. Granted, CS3 isn't quite as hot as some new imported gadget, but you can consider this a sort of test run with the format.

We will of course have more on CS3 once it's actually installed, so enjoy the unboxing video for now, and let us know what you think.

Uh...ok.

Nice post, now I don't have to spend the 500$ to have that similar experience. You figure you spend this much on software they should give you a bit more than a case (which is a plus these days) and a color manual.

This is probably the nerdiest thing I have ever seen.

Thanks for the unboxing video.

Whilst a minimalist packaging is somewhat understandable, I would have preferred more of a QUALITY product packaging considering the many hundreds of £££s spent on this.

A nice 'new style' take for blogging at DS. I'm a big fan of anything visual, and the nice little video sure helped more so, then if i was to be looking at multiple pictures of Creative Suite 3... Plus, it's nice to see what some of the bloggers look like, especially since i read so much from this website everyday and have done for so long. Takes some ball's too. Nice work David.

David,

I was curious as to the software you use to create this unboxing video and post it to your blog?

I Ordered this a couple of weeks ago and I still have not received it. It was suppost to arrive on the 26th of April, but the order status at adobe still says pending! Anyone else having issues? I tried to purchase the download version several times but I kept getting my order rejected!

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
