i believe, there are still unopened shrink-wrapped boxes of ps on ebay. like these http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=86732&item=7163563521&rd=1 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=86732&item=7163737826&rd=1 and so on
but really, i don't see why anyone would seek loopholes and jump through the hoops to get this particular piece of software for 1/3 of the price if you want to support your favorite software company (like any reasonable and well behaved person would), you should probably pay the full retail price. if you don't give a damn about them -- get one for free(*). either way, takes *much* less effort than the half-assed option in between best, mishka (*) unless you are talking about PS for MAC.
