If you're going to go the Photoshop way I'd recommend getting it legit and from the Adobe shop. Pay for it once and get the upgade price from there on. From year to year you won't spend much.
If you get OEM or from any other source it will ultimately be dead money for you because you may have activation issues and from Adobe point of view and your reseller that will be your problem. If you can get yourself a version of CS2 then you won't be bound to any online activation.
But CS2 is far behind in term of features and functionality. Although the changes between CS4 to CS6 are not that dramatic a big jump happened in CS3. You'll miss out on a lot of things with CS2.
