    Title says all.

    You can get these games if you pay at least $1:

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

    You can get these games if you pay at least $4.73 (as of 14.08.):
    - Battlefield 3
    - The Sims 3 + Starter Pack

    You get separate keys for all games for Origin and also for Steam (except for Dear Space 3, Sims and Battlefield 3, those are Origin only) !

    What are you waiting for? Helping charity is great :)

    argh you beat me to it. was just about to post this. One of my favourite game sites ever

    Just a quick question, if you plan on only using steam keys, do you still need to have origin installed?

    No. You get two separate keys for games that are both on Steam and Origin.
    Other unused keys you can send them to friends or whatever. Do NOT sell them.

    Pretty much the best Humble Bundle ever in my opinion. The fact that they've sold over 150k bundles in under 2 hours speaks for itself though :p.

    just saw the email a couple hours ago, fantastic bundle; amazing deals in there if you don't own any of those games, I got it for Dead Space 3 mainly.

    EDIT: Appears they are selling 100 bundles as fast as I can refresh the page ha!

    Who are the cheapskates that pay only $5? That bundle is easily worth $150. Spend at least $10.

    I bought it just for Sims 3, Mirrors edge (never played it before), and medal of honor. I already own rest of the games, so if anyone wants free copies i will be more then happy to give it you. Please Only request for key if you have any intention of playing.

    What a deal. I gave the 4.70$ and got all those keys. I have most of the games, but now I spares to trade or gift. Also since I got steam and origin keys, I basically have 2 copies of the games? I can give the games to 2 different people as long as they activate one copy on steam and one on origin?

    A quick question: If you get keys for both Steam and Origin, does that mean you can download the game twice? I mean, so that you can give away the second key?

    Sorry if my post is badly formulated - it's been a long week already.

    Yes, you can activate Origin keys and give the Steam keys to a friend or vice-versa.

    Wingnut guilt-tripped me into spending/donating ten bucks.

    Hmm, time to hit up some friends for the games I have copies of/don't want.

    I emptied my whole paypal balance for this bundle.
    ..so 6$ really.
    I will consider add to my current donation if they add some new games that I don't own already.

    Bulletstorm was an awesome game. Too bad there's not going to be a sequel because as they put it, piracy killed the gaming star. :p Which I don't believe one bit. It's a sleeper hit for sure, although a one trick pony IMHO. Game was kind of short but also long enough that it didn't get stale.

    I've wanted Bullet Storm for a while now. That's officially the best humble bundle ever.
    Does anyone know when we can download the other games? Where did you find out about that ?

    Purely speculation. .

    [​IMG]

    This image is going around, these games were updated in the steam db recently. So everyone is speculating that these will be added in the second week of the bundle. Nothing has been confirmed however, so don't hold your breath.

    ^ They should just make those other games a second bundle to drum up more $ for charity. It's also a nice bundle and I'd donate for that.

    You have that option now to up your initial purchase price if you choose. To do so, go to the downloads link provided by Humble where you redeemed your keys. From there, click the green text "Like what we're doing."
