   I am only posting this because it is bundle related. Since this is roughly two weeks long,one can try the trials to see if this is a value or not. $30 might be a hard sell to those of us where $0-10 is reasonable. (:)

   UK-based PCBundler launched their second Windows bundle on Monday, offering $217 worth of Windows apps for only $29. The project was developed after PCBundler’s creators saw a lack of Windows-based all-in-one packages available on the Internet, and decided to do something about it.

   Users who take advantage of this offer will receive seven top-selling Windows software, including TuneUp Media (which you can also get for free from our Rewards program), PCKeeper, VideoConverter Pro, Audio Recorder, Switch (also available for free download as a MakeUseOf Reward), Phototangler, and PASSWORDfighter.

   A nice variety items has been chosen for this bundle, and the price alone could be worth it to some users. For instance, TuneUp Media is a popular app that lets you organize your music collection, normally coming at a retail price of $49.95. PCKeeper, a $39 tool, offers 15 tools in one: a disk cleaner, an anti-theft tool, an uninstaller, a duplicate finder, antivirus, and more.

   Altogether, the package offers a total of 87% discount from normal retail prices, and licenses for all program are delivered to buyers upon purchase. Most apps in the bundle have free trials available, and these are linked to from the product pages in the bundle. This way, you can check the programs out before you decide if you want the bundle or not. But don’t take too long. the bundle will only be available for two weeks, until May 6.

   If you would like to take advantage of PCBundler or learn more, visit the official website.

   Do you think that PCBundler is a good deal? Will you make use of it?

   Well, times are tight, payrolls have to be met, & we're at the end of a traditionally slow month when sales numbers and revenues have to be reported at least internally. It's good for consumers but personally I have to worry sometimes: "Are things really that bad? Will this company make it?"

   I'm using ie10 as Firefox is downloading from Amazon -- Video Studio Pro X6 [ http://www.corel.com/corel/product/index.jsp?pid=prod4900075&cid=catalog20038&segid=8100022 ] for < $20!

   Corel did that last year with PaintShop Pro, & it seems they've had a hard time getting anything close to MSRP since. This is the 1st I've seen them do it with VideoStudio, they haven't with any of their other products, so I have to imagine they know that MSRP is done for on that app too. Personally I don't think Corel is anywhere near that dominant in video that they have hopes of driving the China devs out of biz, though if this keeps showing up at this price or close to it, WinX etc. sales have gotta drop.
