I got the same email - it looks like there are now 45 different plug ins in the bundle, so about a $ a plug in!
Makes you wonder if any of them can be any good.

Yes, that was also my concern on how good they are. Surely, if there are at least 3 plugs that are good, it's a good deal?
.
I already have Nomad Factory's Integral Studio Pack III, but still prefer to have fewer (selective) plugins that are very, very good vs. having a boatload of average plugins. 
This might be a good deal for anyone needing an initial bundle set.  
 
 
This might also be an incentive for potential buyers:
"Once you have purchased or upgraded to V.I.P. Bundle status, all subsequent plug-ins released for the V.I.P. series will be FREE of charge for you!"

Guys,
 
There are quite a few that you would never use, but some that are quite good, esp some of the distortion boxes. The reverbs are rich for simple floor stomps. A good rotary box, compressor, some spatial tools. Much of the rendundant items are because they act like different variations of eq settings. I wasn't overly impressed by the 5 new units.
 
At $49 however, this is getting close to no brainer territory for a variety of simple floor stomps. Graphics were done by the Nomad guys. There is a demo available.

(edit...)
 
Forgot to mention the EchoFlex unit. Excellent analog sound with wow and flutter dialable and ping pong..
 
I went several months only using these plugs and Vitamin C by distorque.

Favorite chain was Vit C followed by Calfornia or the Tweed distortion, Echoflex and scant reverb. Did have to add a noise gate after Vit C. Had requested P&M to develop a noise gate. Said they were working on it.

So the "named" amp model plugs are pretty decent?   I like sheer variety of odds and ends included for $49, but some "meatier" plugs wouldn't be bad either.

I have the Stereolizer and the Digital Reverb.  they're not the best...and they're not the worst...
I got them for free...but I think, as with anything, it's up to your "creative self" to get the most
from them...

for $49....like they said...that's about a $1 a plug....

There are enough good plugs in the bundle to make this a worthwhile buy, IMHO.  Which ones you like most will depend on your tastes, but there's something for everyone.  I personally think the guitar-oriented plugs (amps, delays) are excellent, and have a different flavor from similar tools.  It's all fun to play with, and good for creative uses.  A no-brainer, for sure!
 
Cheers,
Eddie

At $49, this is dead center no-brainer land IMO.  I paid $99 for the bundle when there was only 40 and thought it was a great deal.
 
If interested, I wrote a review that you can find here:

Does the Phaser really only have three knobs?

Cool.  Starting to look better by the hour...   I also like the idea of simple licensing and simple UIs.
