Who said anything about CS3 "Suite"
CS3 by its self is for photographers, Raw processing basically and retouching. Not the graphic arts.
From what my Adobe rep emailed me there will be "flavours" of CS3
From his email

"Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard focuses on professional print design. "
"Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Standard serves the professional web developer. "
"Adobe Creative Suite 3 Production Premium is a complete post-production solution for video professionals. "
"Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection enables you to design across media — print, web, interactive, mobile, video, and film — in the most comprehensive creative environment ever produced. "

Web Standard - $1,199
Production Premium -$1,699

I've played with the beat of CS3, and its got some intersting features, such as very much impoved image stitching, and some really neat HDR cration tools, but I'm not sure yet if I'll go that route. I use CS2 for more than just digital retouching, lot of my web work stuff has content created in CS2, and its a must for masking and alpah work in my 3d apps..
