    -Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box
    -Crysis 2 Maximum Edition
    -Mirror's Edge
    -Dead Space 3
    -Medal of Honor

    Pay more than the average for:

    - Battlefield 3
    -The Sims 3+ Starter Pack

    Just bought this - possibly the best ever humble bundle so far.

    I probably would've got this had I not bought Mirror's Edge in the Steam summer sale. Maybe if it had Dead Space 2 as well then maybe. Much happier with the Deep Silver bundle. Really good though that all money is going to charity.

    I've redeemed all I can on Steam but had to use Origin for Dead Space 3, Battlefield 3 and Sims Starter pack and it's taken forever - not impressed with Origin at all !

    Never used it, never will. EA lost me as a customer a long time ago.

    As a client I actually think it has alot of advantages over Steam, it just has a bad rep it is unlikely to ever recover from.

    My argument is with EA and their policies, not with Origin... I think Origin is suffering due to EA's constant ****-ups like Sim City and day one on-disc DLC :(

    Also bought it, what a great bunch of games for about £3.

    I have to say I find Origin fine to use, it's slow at the moment but that is understandable.

    EA were never my favourite company but hey, they have just given a whole load of their games away for free seeing as all money is going to charity so fair play!

    OH ****. I just thought, they should have totally put up the CnC ultimate collection on there. And not just because I want it badly and refuse to pay £25 for 2 games that are over 13 years old (RA1 and 2).

    It was on offer a while back on Origin as I recall buying it and not paying anywhere near £25 lol

    It's a good one alright!

    I'm the other way round. Didn't bother with the Deep Silver one as I already had Saints Row 3 and Metro 2033 from a previous humble bundle. http://blog.humblebundle.com/post/36817861850/the-humble-thq-bundle-has-arrived Don't own any of these, (well I didn't a few minutes ago).

    The Origin one is a bargain. I wouldn't have bought any game in the bundle but for £3.33, it gives me more options!

    I notice all the prices are in $. If I buy this bundle via Amazon payments are there any additional charges? If so, how much?

    Cheers.

    I went ahead and bought it. It's displayed as $ in the Amazon Payments transaction email I recieved. No extra charge has been added.

    I'm always a bit nervy when I try new stuff like this. Always afraid of having my bank account emptied due to my carelessness.

    I mainly wanted the bundle for Battlefield 3 online, and Medal of Honor offline. The only game I already had is Crysis 2, which is a very good game imo. Never played a Dead Space, Burnout, or Sims game before.

    I liked TWA until the timed levels began, it would have been better if it just stayed a relaxed game with narration of a story.
