Mac OS X Snow Leopard: P1,690 in the Philippines

To be clear, that’s the price for people upgrading from Mac OS X Leopard. Full pricing details of Snow Leopard—the marketing name for Mac OS X 10.6—and who qualifies for a P590 upgrade follow.
Aside from the single-user upgrade-from-Leopard license (at P1,690 in case you forgot), Snow Leopard is also available in a “single household, five-user license” Family Pack upgrade, for P2,790. Those upgrading from Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4)—and presumably earlier versions of OS X—will have to pay P9,490 for the Mac Box Set, a bundle of Snow Leopard, iLife 09, and iWork 09. The Family Pack Mac Box Set retails for P12,990.
What about that P590 upgrade? Those who’ve purchased a new Mac from authorized resellers between June 8 and December 26, 2009 qualify for it, so long as they request for upgrade “within 90 days of purchase or by December 26, 2009, whichever comes first”.
Confused? Hopefully this table clears things up:
| Package | Price |
|---|---|
| Single-user upgrade from Leopard (OS X 10.5) | P1,690 |
| Five-license single-household upgrade (Family Pack) | P2,790 |
| Upgrade from Tiger (10.4) and earlier (Mac Box Set) | P9,490 |
| Family Pack | P12,990 |
| Upgrade for Macs purchased between June 8 and December 26, 2009 | P590 |
