Apple Insider reports that Apple has discontinued boxed versions of its Logic Pro and MainStage, making the titles exclusively available through the Mac App Store alongside its Aperture and Final Cut Pro apps targeted at professionals.

The move shifts Logic Pro from a $499 physical package to being just $199 as a digital download, the same price as the former Logic Express, which is no longer available.

Logic Pro is delivered as a 413 MB app, but can download 19 GB of additional content, including loops and instruments, from within the app after it is obtained.
