In the midst of the holiday shopping season, MacUpdate is in the process of offering their Holiday Bundle. MacUpdate tells us that their new purchasing system now allows purchases to be gifted, and in this particular bundle if you purchase three copies, you'll receive a fourth free.

The bundle is selling for $49.99US, and includes the following applications at a hefty discount:
If you're looking for a last minute holiday gift idea for the Mac user in your life, consider MacUpdate's Holiday Promo. The deal runs through December 18, and can be purchased/gifted through the MU Promo website.


Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Pretty good deal. Drive Genius, and AntiVirus are well worth the admission price - and haven't been included in previous bundles. Default Folder and Little Snitch are excellent too (but are included in almost every bundle -- so this'll be my 3rd copy of each!)

For $50, Drive Genius or RapidWeaver alone are worth the price. iVolume is terrific, too (since Apple's own Sound Check function in iTunes is flaky at times). Perhaps what I like best is the additional offer made by MacPilot author Koingo Software: For $30, you get licenses to every software title currently on their site.

No games though. Thought perhaps there would be one mindlessly fun app in the bundle. Certainly not a deal breaker though.

Yes, I bought it purely for Drive Genius. Now I wish I was able to sell on some of my spare licenses.

Why do people (including Apple and lots of others) use the word "gifted" instead of "given"? Apple has links in iTunes called something like "Gift this." This is appallingly tacky and unnecessary.
