Snow Leopard is coming early - Aug. 28

The rumors of an early release have proved correct and the Snow Leopard upgrade is coming out this Friday, Aug. 28. I'll be upgrading the mini with the new OS and will report back on how Plex operates. Based on all the reports and information on SL, I'm really hoping to see some great improvements and also looking forward to see what the developers at Plex come up with. I'm also looking for readers to report back on their experiences with the upgrade.

Snow Leopard set for release on August 28th

Amid the leaks and speculation, the online Apple Store went down this morning, only to return with Snow Leopard release information -- August 28th. It also turns out that the box photo that was leaked last weekend was legit, showing the Snow Leopard on the front.

The pricing remains at $29US for a single user upgrade, or $49 for a Family Pack upgrade. You can only install the upgrade edition if you're using Leopard. If you're not, you'll need to buy the Mac Box Set, available for $169 for a single user or $229 for a Family Pack.

Before you install, check out our upgrade guide. Also, note that If you purchased a qualifying Mac on or after June 8, 2009, that does not include Mac OS X Snow Leopard, you can upgrade for $9.95.
