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!)

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.
