Apple Mac HQ

Since this is my first Christmas with a Mac, I’ve been amazed at the number of software deals offered this holiday season. From Give Good Food To Your Mac, MacUpdate Bundle, Mac Santa, and Mac Heist, there has been no shortage of software deals. Today I ran across a new deal, 20MacApps.

20MacApps works a little differently than the other deals. First of all, you don’t know what you’re getting. The applications are unknown, though you do know the application category (video, games, audio, etc) of the bundled applications. Something else unique is that every application in the bundle is brand new. When each new application is released, the application will cost $20.

If you buy now however, you can get all 20 applications for $60. The price of the bundle increases every day, so the sooner you buy the cheaper the price. I believe the bundle started at $20 but I can’t confirm that. I know earlier today the price was $40.

Of all the software deals, I think this is perhaps the least attractive. Why? Simply because you don’t know ANY of the applications that you are receiving. I’ve been watching all the software deals this season and there are plenty of applications offered that I just don’t want/need. I would have spent $20 on a bundle like this, but at the current price of $60 I’m just not willing to spend that kind of cash on an unknown. If you bought the bundle, post in the comments below about your experience.
