Since the original thread has passed the 10,000 post mark, welcome to bargain thread the second! Based on feedback in the last thread, we're looking at ways to hopefully clean up this one just a little, but for the moment post away as normal :) Link to the old thread, in case you want to look back and remember that time…

Humble Bundle sale every day this week. It was already posted in the previous thread, but as there will be a new deal every day this week, it's worth mentioning again.

You broke it!!!

Dunno whether I should be celebrating this new thread or dreading it.

Not sure how much of a bargain this is, but if you want the Wonderbook with Playstation Move and Eye I think €34.99 isn't a bad price

I suppose adding the link and location may help. I saw it in Smyths in Letterkenny

Oooh, controversial, implying it's not a real game. :pac: I think I already own it. Must take a look this evening.

Seems to be a routine now before buying a game with Steam - See bargain, check steam, check humble bundle account in case already got it there but hadn't registered, check GOG account, check PS+ to see if got it there, check other bundle sites, check isthereanydeal then either purchase or decide to wait until a steam sale.

So should PC bargains be posted here, the bargains thread in the PC forum, or both? Word must be spread far and wide if we are to fill our catalogues with crap we'll never play!

New humble bundle up, outer space.

3 games that are out of this world. Pay $1 or more to enjoy the strategic space exploration game, X3: Terran Conflict. Beat the average price and you'll also receive the space simulation game, Universe Sandbox. Pay $10 or more and you'll receive both games as well as to enjoy the ship-building, space adventure game, Kinetic Void.

^^ yep, i grabbed that earlier, seeing as its a new thread and in case anyone missed it, Anomoly: Warzone Earth is still free on Games Republic, you have to register but can claim the Steam game in "My Games" afterwards - http://gamesrepublic.com/

Ignoring idiots who comment "far right" because they don't even know what it means

Hotline Miami is on flash sale at HumbleBundle for 1.99. For the very few who don't have it yet, well worth it at this price.
