I loved the heists, but am disappointed with the bundle. I already have AppZapper, 1Password, Snapz Pro X, and iStopMotion. I'm only really interested in CSSEdit, so it's not worth the price.

I shouldn't complain. I got the heists and good deals through MUPromo, MacSanta and others. I'm sure this bundle appeals to some.

Alright, I bought the bundle and since I had none of the applications prior to the purchase, it is the best Heist ever! Haha! I really bought it for AppZapper and CoverSutra, but I was pleasantly surprised with the other apps. I will do this again!

Is it my imagination, or did they just "throw in" some extra apps last time as it got nearer to the deadline? Let's hope that they do that again. I also hope that all the apps are unlocked, I can't afford Photoshop

@Jugger - well, it seems like your wish of them "throwing in" apps has been granted. They just added Speed Download, which seems like some sort of download manager.

Lets hope that they continue throwing in some great apps. It's really a tremendous value, although not for everyone.

I think SpeedDownload only appeared because there was such disgruntlement that it had been more or less un-included.

Well, Snapz X was unlocked and 1 of the 2 bonus apps for referrals were revealed: LaunchBar.

I'm still not all that interested.

Me either. But I want to be.

Perhaps. A few of the programs might be useful to me. Speed Download is great for when I'm traveling and on slow dial-up connections (Safari's resumable download support is iffy), Pixelmator could be nice since I don't have any nice image editing software and Skitch isn't a powerhouse. Cha-Ching could be nice now that I started using a credit card and could import the data files from my bank.

Oooh. Two freeverse games have been added. I guess it's worth it to me now.

**Yuiichi** · 01-18-2008

As BBB mentioned, Wingnuts 2 has been added to the bundle. Also, NoteBook has been announced as the 2nd invitation bonus app.

Still not digging this all that much...
