According to Nik Software, you can save around $100.00 for Color Efex Pro 3.0 (the whole package of plugins). The price is $199.00 for the Complete Edition. However, I have no idea if this is a good price or not, since that's what I paid at an educational discount, and it was a good deal for me. Here it goes:

By the way, when I purchased CS5 directly from Adobe, there was a free "PhotoTools" package of plugins from OnOne Software, which I could not refuse 
Later I was offered their Pro upgrade for $49.00, and this too I could not refuse. Those considering purchasing CS5, check the freebies or promos "sometimes offered" at Adobe. While Nik plugins for Mac are easier to use than OnOne's plugins for Mac, both save me a great deal of time of PP my RAW and TIFF images. Both achieve great effects at a few clicks of the mouse's button (or slider adjustments). I like them equally well.
