The whole point of such marketing is to get you hooked. They hope you won't be willing to go back to the old version after the deal is over. Meanwhile, if you found the added cost of $10/month worthwhile then you must already think the rental version is notably better than CS6, which implies that they can probably get away with a price increase at year's end, because you'll be loathe to return to CS6 by then.
It's like cable TV promos that promise "only $xx for 6 months" without telling you the real price. Anyone who's not prone to lying to themselves will find out what the real price actually is and decide whether they want the product at *that* price.
(Salesmen rarely cheat outright. They just help one to lie to oneself.)
