MacHeist 3.0 Update: $100K for charity, new unlock


Last night, Christina provided you with the details of the MacHeist 3.0 bundle. In the short time that the bundle has been on sale (since about 10pm ET last night), MacHeist has sold over 11,100 bundles for US$39.00 each.

Since 25% of each purchase is donated to a group of charities, that means that over US$100,000 has been raised in just about a day. MacHeist has now unlocked Ambrosia's WireTap Studio as part of the bundle, adding another US$69 of value (now US$558 worth of apps) to the package. The next goal is to unlock BoinxTV, a US$199 video production suite. What will it take? $400,000 worth of charity fundraising, or about 33,300 more MacHeist bundles being sold.

If you already own some of the included packages, you can easily "gift" your friends with your licenses. It's a great bundle, a sweet way to get some excellent Mac apps for a song, and an easy way to donate to some wonderful causes as well.
