MacUpdate Promo Bundle 2 Launches

Posted by Miles Evans on 12/3/07 in Featured, Linkage, MacApper News

Joel over at MacUpdate has just sent word that the MacUpdate Promo team has now launched their 2nd bundle promo. The first MUPromo bundle about half a year ago was a huge success, and this time around there is some more really great software up for grabs. If you haven’t heard of the MacUpdate bundles they are quite a unique way to save a really significant amount of skrill on Mac software.

The deal works by buying the 7 program bundle at $49.99 within the 9 day cut-off point (started just now). So right off the bat you get $234 worth of software for $49. That’s quite a savings.

In my opinion the bundle is well worth $49 for licenses of Forklift, Rapidweaver, and Yep alone, but that’s just my me, and the bundles apps might not appeal to everyone.

Macpromo Bundles look pretty good

The cool part is that when 1,000, 2,400, and 5,000 bundles are sold, a free application is added to your bundle at each threshold. Check out the list pictured here from the MacUpdate Promo page to illustrate.

I think this bundle will be a real success with some great unlocks. Mind mapping tool XMIND Pro 2008 at a retail price of $299 will be a sweet bonus at 1,000 bundles sold. iStabilize is also a really great video stabilization tool and retails for $67 at the 2,400th sale. And finally at 5,000 bundles PulpMotion ,the slideshow creator ($45), gets added to the mix. Regardless of whether these thresholds are met you really can’t go wrong with the software included at $49.

Good luck to the guys over at MacUpdate on some great software savings for the community.

In putting this together, I gather these developers are conceding that their software was WAY overpriced in the first place. I took a look at it but there just isn’t much in this that I can see myself actually using on a daily/weekly basis.

I already own RapidWeaver, Swift Publisher, and XSlimmer, and lets just say, I haven’t even installed them on my Leopard install yet (and I got leopard on its launch day). I don’t find much of a use of these apps, unless its for specific projects. I can see someone buying this bundle if they’d use the apps, or even if they’d just use RapidWeaver, but for me, its not that great of a deal.
