New Macheist bundle on the way
Eagle-eyed browsers of the MacHeist site may have noticed a preview video posted this afternoon that indicates a new retail bundle is just around the corner. You can't quite make out all the listed applications from the bundle, but a couple of those icons look familiar...You can get the accumulated history of MacHeist here, if you've got some time on your hands. Likely pricing for the bundle will be $49 when it comes out.

Good grief, I sound like a shill, but I just wanted to say that I have never been happier with a software purchase. $50 gave an awful lot of value as far as I'm concerned.
Developers please note, I will no doubt pay to upgrade some of these apps when the time comes, and, in the case of Freeverse, I have already visited their site to buy other games.
After the hassles I had with getting licenses last time, I'll be passing this time round.

April 10 2008 at 12:00 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyBest of...yeah right. Where's TextMate then? Seriously, iClip? The product blog on iClip still has that ridiculous test post on there for an entire year. Also, the Cha-Ching developers have promised Macheist 2 buyers (myself included) version 2.0 when we bought the bundle four months ago. Still hasn't happened; probably will never happen.
Definitely not worth it.
Low and behold, new MH set to debut right after I buy Coversutra; just my luck. Right after regretting not buying MH when it came out last time. Double whammy.
I guess if this came with Pixelmator I'd buy it, but blah. The only reason I'd buy this now is for Coversutra but that's long gone.
I really don't need an extra program to run my banking, those games look pretty lame and I really can't find a need for iClip (except for another reason to make fun of iNouns) so I really don't have a need for any of that other junk.
Here's a potential list of the apps according to zackkitzmiller on the MH forums (for those too lazy to click the above link):
1) Cha-Ching
2) CoverSutra
3) XSlimmer
4) Awaken
5) Nanosour 2
6) Bugdom 2
7) WingNuts 2
8) WriteRoom
9) DevonThink
10) EarthDesk
11) 1passwd -> Looks like this is TextExpander now.
12) iClip
