Why buy all apps in FC??
Posted by Mark Griesbauer on April 27, 2007 at 7:25 pmhi and sorry for the dumb question, but why is FC sold only in a bundle?
Why can’t you buy FC just by itself? does anyone know?
thnx an advanced

April 27, 2007 at 8:44 pmBecause Apple doesn’t want to sell it like that. They would like you to buy a professional level bundle of complex applications that require a really good computer to run. They’re driving sales to their high margin, top of the line computers. (They really want to sell you the computer not the software.)
All the best,
Tom

May 8, 2007 at 2:54 amThere are a few reasons, remember these are jsut ideas not fact:
1. Final Cut Pro can be bought by itself, the other Apps use to be.
2. Final Cut is reasonably good by itself while other programs like Motion or Livetype really can’t work to well by them selves. Most people would probably want FCP with Motion instead of just Motion.
3. Apple could be trying to compete with Avids bundle.
4. Apple might be doing this because they make more money with the bundle than by single apps.
