Games or apps?
Gameplay do a thing called Release Radar if you go back to the homepage but this only features games on the PC. I don't think you'll find a site that features both, the Mac crowd and PC crowd tend to squabble over whose grass is greener :E

Tis Apps I'm after. Trying to work out update costs over year for Mac studio and some PC's.
PC users and Mac users do argue over whos machine/software is best :) We all know the answer to that one....

You're probably going to have to go to vendor sites, and then they won't be much help. Software release dates are not like games, and are brought out on vendor whim, combine that with usual slippage and resellers won't bother.
What are you waiting for?

Found that vendors dont want to tell peeps they have another product in the pipe-line so they keep buying current release :(

I'm doing the research so I can map out a spending plan for the year - So its quite important or the design studio wont get there toys when there released... Think Im just gonna have to do it on educated guess work and track each product individually.

No new Photoshop this year as far as Adobe has told me, Quark just raised their prices again just before Xmas so I guess that means they are still selling 4.1 for the foreseeable. CorelDraw 10 just released, so I doubt any new prices there either. Haven't seen anything about new Illustrator either, so i guess no news for at least the next 6 months.
