    Or however much you feel like paying (be it as little as $1 or more, your choice).

    Braid & Osmos are worth buying on their own, so this is an excellent deal.

    All the games work on Mac, Pc and Linux.

    I already own at least 3 of them from various steam sales(and of which i only have played 1!)

    I said it at the last one and I'll say it at this one, don't be a dick and buy for less than $1, They have to pay paypal fees on whatever you pay of about 40c, so if you pay 1c, they lose money!

    Ah I'm already leaking money out the... ...these days. Nevertheless, the last bundle was great, I haven't played any of these and I like their model, so I have to support it.
    I notice their default has a little less going to charity than last time... :pac:

    I think that paypal left them off last time, but I agree, don't be a meanie!

    It's a good deal and idea, shame I already have machinarium as it's the only one I'd really be interested in.

    Do you have any reference for that? I know paypal generally charge 30c flat + a percentage but I don't see why humblebundle would let you pay less than 30c if they were being charged that. Actually, I don't think that paypal will log a negative to your account anyway, they just pocket whatever was transferred.

    That said less than $1 seems unnecessarily scabby.
