It's simply amazing how they can bundle so many pointless apps together. My hat is off to them.
Better act fast guys!

I only bought one of these bundle packages before. And the app I wanted, I can't even remember it's been so long, the app I wanted with the bundle got a major upgrade like 3 weeks later, and I ended up paying for that upgrade. I'd have been better of just buying that one app as that's the only one I really wanted.
Watch out, because major updates are soon to follow, and you will not get them, you will be locked into upgrade pricing from then on.
