The Personal Learning Edition is free. I got Maya Unlimited for $370 with the student discount. If you want to download the personal learning edition and have a comcast email address, you will need to make another, free email adress at something like
www.yahoo.com. For some reason, Autodesk can't send emails to comcast.
Even with Maya, I still use AC3D for things like importing, exporting, and sharing 3D models with my friend in England.
