Microsoft yesterday announced the immediate availability of Microsoft® Plus! SuperPack for Windows® XP at leading retailers nationwide. Plus! SuperPack is the ultimate enhancement pack for Windows XP, enabling consumers to personalize their PCs with screen savers and themes, enjoy exciting games, and do more with digital photos, music and home movies.
Plus! SuperPack combines two popular Microsoft products: Plus! Digital Media Edition and Plus! for Windows XP. The estimated retail price (ERP) for both products is $50 (U.S.), but they are offered together in Plus! SuperPack for one low ERP of $29.95 (U.S.), representing an amazing value for consumers and providing them with everything they need to take their Windows experience to the next level. In addition, for customers who have already acquired either Plus! Digital Media Edition or Plus! for Windows XP, Microsoft is offering a $10 (U.S.) rebate on Plus! SuperPack.
"Plus! for Windows XP and Plus! Digital Media Edition have received consistently high ratings from our customers, and Plus! SuperPack takes the value of these products to a whole new level," said Dave Fester, general manager of the Windows Consumer Division at Microsoft. "With its wide range of features -- from amazing screen savers to the ability to do more with digital photos and music -- Plus! SuperPack is truly the ultimate companion for Windows XP."
Plus! SuperPack is available now for an estimated retail price of $29.95 (U.S.) at thousands of retail stores nationwide where software is sold, including Amazon.com ($27.99), Best Buy, CompUSA, Fry's Electronics, J&R Computer/Music World, Micro Center, Office Depot, Staples and Target.
