MacHeist bundle now on sale, includes CoverSutra

by Michael Rose Jan 9th 2008 at 12:01AM

If you've got $50 burning a hole in your Paypal account, maybe some software purchasing is just the thing to quench that flame. As of midnight Tuesday, the Macheist 2 bundle is available for purchase. Although there may be some additional announcements along the way (as there were with the MacUpdate bundle), the apps bundled at the start of sales include:
The Awaken and CoverSutra packages are exclusive versions for Macheist, so we're told. Whatever the relative merits and drawbacks of the app-bundle approach for the ISVs involved, the value of this bundle to the consumer (even if you already own one or two of the apps) is not really debatable. Note that at least a couple of the apps are 10.5 only, and the list on Macheist is definitive (so if you saw something here or in the comments that's not on the Macheist site -- go with what they're listing).

Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

In a surprise move, MacHeist has moved the $100,000 to charity lock to Pixelmator! Now, Snapz Pro X is now unlocked and there's only $22,021 left on Pixelmator! In my opinion, unlocking Pixelmator is just about in the bag (since sales continue til the 23rd).

Also, they've started their referral program to get more apps (just LaunchBar for now). I'll refrain from posting my referral link. ;)

I bought before Speed Download was added and CSSEdit was unlocked. When do we get the licence keys for these apps?

If you view your bundle receipt online, the licenses will now appear there. If you don't have a link to your online receipt, click the "order lookup" link half-way down the main page.

They just added another application to sweeten the deal... Speed Download. It also looks like they've got room to add one more application in the future. Delicious Library 2 beta?
Maybe I'm dreaming too big...

This "waiting for pixelmator" attitude is going to keep us from getting it. Instead of thinking of it as buying a bundle you should think of it as donating to charity with a bonus. That way we all get a bigger bonus.

I'm not buying until I know what the unlock limit is for Pixelmator. The way I read the screen right now, it's only CSSEdit that unlocks at 5,000 purchases.
I'll buy the bundle for CSSEdit, Cha-Ching, and Pixelmator, but not for anything less.

Just bought CSSEdit, so I'm out of this :-)

BTW, people who did the heists got, in addition to discounts, some free programs just for playing: Monkey Lover, Sofa Control, Xslimmer, Voice Candy, Podcast Maker, Wallet, Catalog, Enigmo, WireTap Pro, Overflow, Santa's Gizmo, Bitclamp, and probably more. (I missed a heist) While they're probably not versions with normal upgrades, they're still cool.

The apps offered aren't to shabby... too bad I own the major ones that I would interested in already. I wish they would throw in some stuff from MH 1 for those who didn't get that bundle.

Most disappointing bundle so far. I was on the fence with the MU one, but this one really has nothing of interest to me until Pixelmator is unlocked.
