Photoshop was more expensive for a full license, more like $700. Upgrades were only around $200 for 2 - 3 versions back (think they changed from 3 to 2 back at some point). Some third party retailers would sell upgrades for about 10% less than Adobe charged directly. Basically if you had an initial license, it was cheaper to maintain than the current model without adjusting for inflation.
