Mac OS X Lion is now available on the Mac App Store right now for $29.99.

With some amazing features in Mac OS X, more than 200 new features from what Apple says, this pricing is an incredible proposition for those who are already on Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

To upgrade to Mac OS X Lion, you need to be on Snow Leopard. If not you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first before you can upgrade to Lion.

Apple has made it so that you can download OS X Lion only from the Mac App Store and you can’t buy a physical disc from Apple Store or other retailers. However, I have put together a guide on how to burn Mac OS X Lion Boot Disc.
