To Bundle or not to Bundle (Pro Tools purchase)

[bubbiesdod]

What, if anything, does one really get that is worthwhile for the extra $100 with the pro tools mbox II factory bundle that is not in the regular mbox II? Thanks for your input. I have limited funds, so I am trying to purchase with caution.

Mbox 2 Factory Bundle
For added creative processing options right out of the box, Digidesign presents the Mbox 2 Factory bundle — a complete Mbox 2 system plus a set of potent Digidesign and Bomb Factory plug-ins (a retail value of more than $1,050!) with an iLok USB Smart Key that has those plug-ins preauthorized. Mbox 2 Factory plug-ins include:

• moogerfooger Analog Delay
• JOEMEEK SC2 Photo Optical Compressor
• JOEMEEK VC5 Meequalizer
• Cosmonaut Voice
• Digidesign Maxim

• moogerfooger Analog Delay = 1 piece of a $595 4 piece bundle = $150
• JOEMEEK SC2 Photo Optical Compressor
  JOEMEEK VC5 Meequalizer = bundled $395
• Cosmonaut Voice = $95
• Digidesign Maxim = $445
• iLok = $40

That's $1125 worth of plugins and hardware for $100. You will have to decide if it's worth it for you.

to me the 002 factory bundle was well worth it and now i have recieved another plug-in aswell. sure not all the plugs in the bundle are good but even if there is one or two you like along with the ilok you get your moneys worth.
im not so sure about the mbox bundle you may fin the producer factory bundle or whatever it is called which is baicly the 002 factory bundle is better but it would cost a bit more aswell.
