iLife Shipping with New Macs

I missed it by 4 days and am not paying $19 just to ship it...

Agreed it's pretty outrageous that new buyers have to pay $19 to get the programs they were "promised" back in Jan.

hooray

although its about bleeping time

I believe the ad was up during the past 2 days.

You made a computer purchase 4 days before ilife was released? :confused:

Yep I ordered a mac out the special deals section on Tuesday the 3rd, I got it this Saturday and it did have a copy of iLife 04 in it, in CD version and DVD version. Even though the Apple people told me it wouldn't be in there.

My sister ordered an iMac 17" around 5 days after Macworld. She didn't get it. I've told her to call and ask about it but she is the type that is happy with what she got compared to the plague ridden Windows box she had.

Hmmm, got my first PB on 6 Jan (as soon as the keynote speech confirmed no new PBs)... it was a lemon so got a replacement one on 6 Feb. No iLife 04 in it tho.

Have just convinced my sister to buy an eMac, ordered on Saturday so hopefully should arrive with iLife 04 for her. If so, will use that instead of paying 'shipping' for another copy for myself...

And no, I wouldn't usually agree with 'borrowing' software but since I should have it anyway...

It was a necessary purchase - and a week after Steve Jobs said that all macs would ship with iLife. Stupid fine print...

maybe its just for macs you buy in Apple stores, but didn't it come with it before? My friend bought a pb 2 or 3 weeks ago in an Apple store, and it had the new iLife with garage band dvd and cd in it. . . . .
