$20 for Lots of Themes / Graphics / Goodies

The latest Digital Trends Bundle from Envato is quite tempting. You get more than 40 files with value over $500 for just $20. To be exact, this digital bundle consists of 16 GraphicRiver items, 4 ThemeForest items, 8 PhotoDune items, 5 AudioJungle items, 9 VideoHive items, and 1 CodeCanyon.

The items that most interested me are the 2 WordPress theme items - Presso, clean & modern magazine theme and Ubergrid, responsive grid wordpress theme, and the CodeCanyon item - Digital Paybox. Presso and Ubergrid are listed as two of the popular themes recently, you can't go wrong with them! And Digital Paybox seems to be quite useful as a payment processing tool for any WordPress sites, it works with a number of payment gateways including PayPal, Payza / Alertpay, krill / Moneybookers, Authorize.Net, InterKassa, EgoPay, Perfect Money, Credit / Debit Cards (via Stripe), Bitcoins (via BitPay).

Everything sounds good, I was about to order it, but then I noticed the bold sentence in the bundle description, "Due to the exclusive nature of the Digital Trends Bundle, the Bundle items are purchased ‘as-is’, meaning no Bundle files are eligible for item support or updates." So, that's the catch eh? It's a bit scary to buy a theme which does not provide supports and updates. Maybe this package should be renamed as "Trial Bundle", then prospective customers could expect that they would need to pay later to get supports and updates. But of course, if you find other items (those that most likely don't need updates) useful, $20 is still a good deal for this trial bundle.
