He likens TheMacBundles to a farmers' market for software.

While the first deal won't be announced until early next week, the idea is to offer 'all killer, no filler' bundles of top-class software.

All programs will be the latest versions, and will come with the same support and upgrade rights that accompany purchases at full retail price.

Importantly for developers, Becker says only a very small order processing and administrative charge will be deducted from the gross revenue before it is distributed to participants.

"Because part of the goal of TheMacBundles.com is to provide an opportunity to introduce high quality but lesser-known titles to as many consumers as possible, each bundle will be available for only a short period of time - generally only two or three weeks - and the same programs usually will not be offered more than once a year," said Becker.

"Especially in these difficult economic times, it's important for consumers to get the best value for their dollar and for developers to receive a fair payment for their work: TheMacBundles.com eliminates the middlemen and brings consumers and developers together to their mutual benefit."

It'll be interesting to see what effect TheMacBundles will have on the other bundle marketers.
