Is there any academic pricing for Maya?

This course contains a little bit of everything with modeling, UVing, texturing and dynamics in Maya, as well as compositing multilayered EXR's in Photoshop.

I'm interested in purchasing my own personal copy of Maya, and I've been checking around academic software sites. I found 3Ds Max 6 ($170 for 1 year license!), and I was wondering if there is something similar for Maya. If you have any info on it that would be great!

Yes, I believe I recall educational Maya Unlimited was around $650 or something. That was a few years ago, though, before the price drop. Probably be cheaper now.

Educational as in "You cannot sell stuff made with this" => Souped up PLE?

The academic version of Maya is not really a souped up PLE. It's the full version (available in both Complete and Unlimited) just with a different license and a little dialog box at startup that says "Educational use only". Feature-wise, you can do everything normally.
