Lightroom 3 on sale for 24 hours

B&H in New York have Lightroom 3 on sale for $70 US (about 45 GBP). Shipping will cost, at the cheapest, another 30 GBP, but still a good deal.

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc..._Software.html

It ends sometime today (Feb 15).

I suspect others will be doing the same soon to clear stock. Adorama also has/had it on sale for $80 US.

No, that is to the UK. To calculate shipping it has a drop box and you can select the country and it updates.

It is good until 11:59 EST tonight.

B&H definitely ship to the UK.

I shopped there when I was in New York a couple of years ago and one item I wanted was not available, so they shipped it to me when it came back into stock.

It seems like the Lightroom offer was too good though, out of stock now.

Amazon still have it for £95 here not as cheap but still great value IMHO.

Play had it for £89 but it has gone back up to over £200

Back ordered, that means they will be getting more and they are still taking orders.

I presume it would still be at the same discounted price when it comes back into stock?

As wavemachine pointed out Play have put the price back up to £200 even though Amazon are still selling it at £95.

With Lightroom 4 available soon I wonder if this is just a stock clear out and when they are all gone that's it.

Play now only have it from sellers on the Marketplace now.

I guess Adobe will keep pushing them out whilst there is demand and I guess it depends how long the beta is going to last for LR4.

I am wondering how much the upgrade is going to cost, there are two things that interest me in LR 4 highlight/shaow recovery and better integration with blurb as I am going to do a photo book of the 366 project I am doing.
