I agree with those comments about the subscription downsides. However, I have elements 10 on disc (and on the laptop) so I can always go back to it.
However, some considerations:
1. You only have to connect to the internet once every 4 months to verify your subscription. You do NOT have to connect every time you want to use photoshop;
2. At $600+ for the full photoshop (and assuming you will upgrade every 5 years), you are paying $120+ per year; for the photography subscription you get full photoshop and lightroom (about $80) for $119.88 per year. And it's getting very hard to find full photoshop in disc form.
I agree that in a business setting, it can be a huge deal. But for the casual user, small business user, etc., it can be a better option. And if you don't need the 16bit, there isn't much that elements can't do at a much lower price.
