If  you're one of the many Apple users wanting to deck out your rig with some very nifty applications, then here's some good news: the MacUpdate Parallels bundle is now up for sale at their official website. For the price of US$ 64.99, you get almost US$ 500 worth of premium Mac applications all designed to make your Apple life a dream.

The applications are as follows: Hazel, Art Text, MenuCalendarClock, Leap, StoryMill, Typinator, DVDRemaster Pro, Sound Studio, BannerZest and Parallels Desktop.

But of course, there's a catch. No, you don't need to buy anything else - instead, you have to help spread the word. See, when you buy the Parallels bundle, three of the ten applications are still locked. The only way to unlock them, unfortunately, is by way of bundles being sold. Sound Studio, for example, will need about more than 3000 bundles for it to be unlocked.

Of course, there's no need to worry. The MacUpdate team is confident that by the time the promo period is over, all the apps will be unlocked. They're going by the overwhelming success of their last two bundles. So what are you waiting for? Buy one now, and believe in your heart that you're helping progress.

But wait a tick! Why should you buy an incomplete bundle? Have no fear - even if you purchased a bundle before the unlock quotas were reached, you will STILL get the unlocked goodies added to your account. Convenient, right? So spread the word of this very awesome deal. Updates as we get them, in any case.
