Given that the same version numbers are the same why should I pay another £10.50 for each app when Lion itself only cost £21 and contains iPhoto, IMovie and Garageband?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)
That is mainly for those using older versions of iLife that would like to upgrade to iLife '11.
The applications in the versoin of iLife that came with your Lion upgrade are perfectly adequate compared to the ones in the store.

Where are you seeing that Lion includes iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband? New versions of Mac OS X have never included iLife applications.
Lion does not include those apps.

Sorry, but it does. Open up Applications and they're all right there with Facetime, iDVD, iChat, and iWeb. I've certainly never bought these. They were also there in SnowLeopard. Given that I only bought this Macbood Pro in March, I'm fairly certain about what was included on it :-)
They are included when you purchase a computer, not Mac OS X.
Hi,
When you bought your MacBook, it came with an operating system, Snow Leopard, pre-installed.
It also came with some applications, including iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband, pre-installed.
But the iLife applications aren't part of Snow Leopard, or of Lion.
They're separate applications, and Apple gives them to you for free when you buy a new Mac.
If you launch iPhoto, then go to the iPhoto menu and choose "About iPhoto", you can find out what version of iPhoto you're running. You can also check for software updates, and if they are available you will be able to download them.
Your MacBook is very new, and I would be almost certain that the version of iPhoto you're running is the same as the version in the AppleStore.
But if Apple upgraded iLife to a new version (possibly iLife 12) you would have to pay for that if you wanted it.
And if Apple upgraded Lion to a new version (possibly Ocelot 😉) you would have to pay for that separately. It would not include the iLife applications.
Whats the difference between Garageband, iMovie etc. that ship with Lion and the ones in the Apple Store?
