The moment of truth has come! How do the Black Friday prices compare with the bundle prices this year?
PL8 + VP5: pretty much the same. ($179.99 + 89.99 = $269.98)
Add FP7 for $69.99: just a few dollars cheaper than the $349 bundle
PL8 + FP7: $249.98 (beats the bundle by about $50)
PR4 + Nik 7: $199.98 (also beats the bundle by almost $50)
So I got lucky. There are some very nice discounts for the older products! The prices will still be high for some people, but they will be a lot higher very soon.
