This looks like a one day only deal, but what a deal it is. </p> <h2 style="font-size:1.2em;">How to score Parallels 6 for $13.99</h2> <p>Here’s the deal, Parallels 5 is offered on the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Ffeature.html%3Fie%3DUTF8%26linkCode%3Dshr%26docId%3D1000527941%26camp%3D213733%26creative%3D393193&tag=oxd-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957">Amazon Daily Deals</a><img src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=oxd-20&l=ur2&o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> site today at a reduced price of $33.99, and it includes a mail-in rebate of $20, bringing the price to $13.99. But guess what? Parallels offers a free upgrade guarantee on version 5 purchased until November 30, 2010, meaning you get a <strong>free upgrade to Parallels 6</strong>. </p> <p>Here’s what you’ll need to do:</p> <ul> <li>Find and buy <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Ffeature.html%3Fie%3DUTF8%26linkCode%3Dshr%26docId%3D1000527941%26camp%3D213733%26creative%3D393193&tag=oxd-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957">Parallels 5 on the Amazon Daily Deals site</a><img src="https://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=oxd-20&l=ur2&o=1" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> for $33.99</li> <li>Fill out the <a href="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/00/00/10/96/95/13/1096951370._V198735513_.pdf">$20 rebate form</a> with the <a href="http://usa.novadevelopment.com/support/rebate/Registration.aspx">developer</a> (the rebate code comes with Parallels 5)</li> <li>Save your Amazon receipt, then register and activate Parallels at <a href="https://www.parallels.com/account/">https://www.parallels.com/account/</a> within 30 days of purchase</li> <li>Now go to <a href="http://www.parallels.com/keyfor6/request/">http://www.parallels.com/keyfor6/request/</a> to fill out the free upgrade to Parallels 6 request.

Parallels says that claims can take up to 6 to 8 days for processing, but user reports from the prior deal we posted indicate they process claims much faster than that.</p> <p>Oh and if you’re wondering whether Parallels 6 is worth it, I’d say indeed it is, particularly if you’re a gamer. The gaming performance of Parallels 6 within Mac OS X is pretty amazing, here’s what ArsTechnica had to say about it:</p> <blockquote><p>The graphics can be jacked all the way up, and there’s no laggy latency—that’s pretty incredible</p></blockquote> <p>You can check out <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/09/27/gaming-in-parallels-6-run-pc-games-on-your-mac/">running Windows games in Parallels 6</a> for more. Apparently just running Windows on top of Mac OS X is pretty speedy with it too.</p> <p>If you miss out on this deal, you can still use the rebate, Amazon discount, and upgrade guarantee to <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/09/10/how-to-get-parallels-6-for-20/">get Parallels 6 for cheap</a>, but the price seems to fluctuate a bit.
