I asked an online chat rep. and they said to check back later today for 64 bit information. My local Apple store is also unsure if they have it for sale today. I guess it's kind of a cluster right now.
Got a tip for us?

Do you realize the target audience for iLife apps? If you can actually use Final Cut, then go get one. Normal people finds iMovie 09 to be extremely good already, and the additions of things like movie trailer themes are just icing on the cake. I can churn out a decent looking video with iMovie 09 faster than in FCE.
It's funny how iWeb and iDVD have no updates but at least they are being included on the disc.
I can't wait to see what new book features have been added. I make one every year for my wife for Mother's Day and they are awesome!

shipment or delivery?
I bought one on 9/30, and it shipped 9/30 and delivered in early Oct. The up to date program says "Purchased since 10/1"
I think I'm hosed.

FlexTime and Rhythm matching (Groove template in Logic) has been available to Logic 9 users for over a year. They just brought it into GarageBand.
There are some nice feature, but I am not sure if I am going to update. I switch to using Aperture from iPhoto. My needs from iMovie aren't that much, and I rarely use GarageBand.
I'll wait until some review until deciding.

So they're making everyone pay the full price for only 3 updated programs? Or did they do a minor update to the other programs?
They already have it. Purchased it from my store.
My store (NYC - UWS) is saying that they have it in stock but that is not "technically" for sale until tomorrow. When asked what "technically" means, the guy on the phone said they will not sell them until tomorrow.
It is if you just received your new MBP last week.
BUT I just checked and Apple is offering iLife11 for $6.99 to those who purchased a qualifying computer between October 1 and October 19
Meh...
Meh... Yawn... This is the "exciting news"? All the announced changes are minor improvements, nothing worth plunking down $50 for, especially since two of the applications appear unchanged. In short, it's crap, it's tinkertoys. Junk for the masses. The new features on "Lion" are yawn inducing as well.
Don't even get me started on MBA.
Call me when you update your ProApps Steve. Maybe then I'll give a---

About iWeb and iDVD - the marketing page says these are "included" with iLife. I'm taking this and the lack of updates to mean that Apple is done with them and they will disappear with whatever comes after iLife '11.
My question - Do I go for '11 or grab a copy of '09? I'm using iLife '08 now. I don't use garageband at all and don't see much of a use for the new features in '11 to be important to me. And from what I can tell, either '09 or '11 would be a noteworthy jump from '08, so it's a toss-up.
Although, if I recall, iLife '09 was $79, so this new version would be more economical.
I guess I'm afraid of falling for the iMovie HD -> iMovie 08 "downgrade" situation that had a lot of people all fired up a few years ago (I have both versions and mainly use HD).

I was not impressed with the iLife update at all, but I'm not a big user of iMovie or GarageBand to begin with. It would be nice if you could purchase the apps separately, since iPhoto is the only one that interests me whatsoever. A web download for individual app purchases would be nice.
They already have it. Purchased it from my store.
Are any of the apps 64 bit?
And are iWeb or iDVD new versions or same as the previous ones?
Wow, looks like the first time ever I won't be upgrading to the new version of iLife. No real new killer features, just a thin layer of new gimmicks.
Very disappointed that
still hasn't addressed the cataloguing and viewing of "home movies" within their own ecosystem. Once again we have a keynote demonstrating the creation of terrific iMovies of BMX guys and best friends having a jolly good time galavanting in Europe...with the recommendation of uploading to YouTube or facebook. What about just watching it with my family at home? On my big screen via my TV, or iPad perhaps?
Using the Share to iTunes feature of iMovie is really weak. Just throws your home movie in there next to "Iron Man 2" and "Finding Nemo." iMovie ought to have a built in feature that creates an HTML5 iTunes-LP-DVD type presentation package that can be played on iDevices orTV, uploaded to a website/MobileMe, or even converted and burned to a DVD. And iTunes ought to have a separate section for "Home Movies" where all these creations live. Seems like a killer feature and marketing tool for the TV...suck them in with Junior's first steps and Susie's wedding, next thing you know they're renting episodes of "Glee."
It appears that iDVD is going to remain stagnant for yet another iteration of iLife, indicating that is philosophically through with physical media. Give us a new way to preserve, organize, and watch our own footage besides uploading to YouTube!

Call up Apple. I bet they'll make an exception. They usually do in situations like this -- they just have to make a date cut off somewhere. They don't want to p* off a customer those b/c they bought one day too early and didn't even take delivery until after the qualify date.
