Buyers can pre-order Snow Leopard for Apple’s list price of US$29. Amazon is saying, however, that if it drops the price before the end of the first shipping day, buyers will pay the lower price instead.
The 5-user Snow Leopard Family Pack is also available for pre-order at $49, and Snow Leopard Server is priced at $499. The Snow Leopard Box set with iLife and iWork is costs $169, and the 5-user family pack version is priced at $229.
Apple typically charges $129 for new versions of Mac OS X, but is offering Snow Leopard for $100 less to users that already own Mac OS X 10.5, or Leopard. Users with older versions of Mac OS X installed on their computer will still pay the traditional $129 for their copies of Snow Leopard.
