• So the "value if sold separately" of all the interlinears I get in the Starter is $320 (including The English-Greek Reverse Interlinear Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition: Deuterocanonical Old Testament, Variant Alignments). What if I don't want ANY of them, or ANY of the other things "new to me" in Logos 8? I have Platinum in English and Spanish and have invested thousands of dollars in my Logos library over the years, but haven't upgraded since Logos 5. Logos, PLEASE change your business model. I'm not going to buy a library all over again when all I want is a system upgrade.

    2. Secret it just upgrade free as they have to offer that, you just wait until the offer is given when they are ready. otherwise it is a rip off.

    3. If you guys are complaining about the price, what should we in South Africa say about the cost? I have been using Logos since Logos 2.0e back in 1995. I used to get a box of "stiffy discs" to install the Bibles when I bought a new package in those days. I upgraded as the years went on and currently am using Logos 7. Even then the Logos 7 price was very steep for me because I live and work as a pastor in South Africa where the US dollar exchange rate is 15 to 1. So if I want to buy a new package I must multiply the cost by 15 when paying in South African rands. In the past it cost me up to a whole month's salary to upgrade, but now if I upgrade to Logos 8 it would cost me 4 month's salaries!!!! And I cannot even eat it :) I invested thousands in my library. If I bought the paper books, at least I could sell them or my children could inherit them. Seems like Logos is no longer an option for people living outside of the US because it is just getting unaffordable.

    4. I am finding what I have in my LBX book library with mobile and 8.0 adequate especially when I add in my olive tree books, stepbible.org, blue letter bible, and other online tools for daily use. Though I really like the new logos mobile over my other mobile bible apps.

  • Wow, if I pay the "exclusive" price of $211 on sale right now, I can get such valuable tools as 27 interlinears... It even comes with "English audio pronunciations" to help me pronounce such words as "bloated". I've spent thousands of dollars on new books and commentary sets in Logos in recent years, and I'm thrilled that I can carry a complete library around on my computer. But I haven't upgraded since Logos 5 I think... when the upgrade gave me the NAC commentary set. I'm interested in buying the content I want, not bloated collections of stuff I will never use. It's pretty cool to see that my library has 2,410 resources, but pretty sad that I will never use most of them. How encouraging that this exclusive price is 90% off the cost of purchasing titles individually. That means I won't have to pay $52.33 for "The Latin-Greek Reverse Interlinear Vulgate: Deuterocanonical Old Testament, Variant Alignments", but only about $5.30. On the other hand, I would prefer not to pay for it at all. So... no thanks, Logos.

    1. Creatively written.

  • How does this compare to the NIC version? Same book? I guess it's published independently now that Fee's NIC volume on Thessalonians has taken it's place? I think it's interesting that Morris' Tyndale Commentary on Thessalonians is ranked higher than Fee's NIC, but Morris' NIC volume is ranked lower. Morris Tyndale - #6 Fee NIC - #9 Morris NIC - #16 (On bestcommentaries)
