Earlier today, Adobe started shipping CS3 Production Premium. But don’t get your hopes up that your copy will be at your door tomorrow. This basically just means that some Adobe executive had one shipped to his house and that boxes of the suite are making their way into Adobe’s distribution channel. For the majority of us, we won’t see our copies for another 2 to 3 weeks.

Here’s the official announcement:
