iLife '09 ships tomorrow

Apple issued a press release first thing this morning, noting that iLife '09, announced at Macworld, is shipping tomorrow for $79.

We covered iLife '09's major features, including face detection and geotagging for iPhoto, guitar and piano lessons for GarageBand, and another re-imagining of iMovie.

If you purchased a new Mac on or after January 6, you can upgrade to iLife '09 for $10. iLife is also available in a family pack: five licenses for $99. A box set that includes iLife, iWork, and Mac OS X is $169, and individual music lessons are available separately for $5 each.

iLife '09 requires Mac OS X 10.5.6 or later. It's available for purchase (among many locations) in the Apple Store online, at Apple retail stores, and Amazon.com.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Cancelled my Amazon order and placed an order with BestBuy for in store pickup. I exploited BestBuy's error.

I've installed it on my two macs. So far so good

So - any reviews yet? Or more importantly any major upgrade issues yet? I need to do a DVD - so hopefully iMovie/DVD works ok...

Collecting from Apple Store later today (assuming they are not sold out).

weird - i just called the apple store on 14th street in nyc and asked if it was in stock, right before i saw this post, and was told that they are now expecting to get it in during the 3rd week of february.... hope that's not true.

Waiting for the 10.6 OS X bundle that will include this.

Anyone else remember mac.com when thinking about Apple products that used to be free, that now aren't? Of course, they never promised iLife would always be free.

I picked my copy up from Best Buy in Long Beach, CA and have it now, I have installed it it took about 10 minutes to install. (MacPro 8-core, 10Gb Ram) Going through, its taking 170 minutes to scan faces. iMovie is great, Its taking 2 hours to analyze a 4:37 clip of video for Stabilization. Yikes. Either way working like a charm.

I called my local Best Buy, they said they had 6 in stock. I asked them to place one on hold so I can pick it up today and they took my name and number. So I'll know for certain in 2 hours, but sounds like I'll get mine tonight as well. Sweet!

Well Best Buy called me back and said they aren't selling it until tomorrow!?!? there is no street date that I can find, and other Best Buy's have sold it, so I don't understand why they can't sell it tonight. Even the Apple Store said it was already announced so it can be sold whenever.

Any Best Buy employees know if it has a street date or not listed?
