Lots of software sales

Published November 30, 2009 | By Don Pedro

The big news was the iPod Touch for $150 (which doesn’t seem like all that great a deal to me, but whatever) but I got tons of coupons for discounted software. Stardock, Corel, Zonealarm and others all had discounted software. And I got plenty of other coupons as well from What on Earth, Back to Basics Toys and Amazon. Too bad none of it really interested me. The discounted movies are so old I already have them. The discounted music is crap, that’s why it’s on sale. And some of the software discounts were good, 50% off, but others were pretty lame (I think you can do better than 20%). Give me a discount and throw in free shipping and you’ll have me hooked. A $5 item that costs $10 to ship is just stupid.
