I'm gonna be mad if ME3 gets added I just bought it for £5 a few days ago and haven't played it
[QUOTE=RocketRacer;41837128]Dead Space 3 for $1. Holy fuck, I've always wanted to play it in co-op.[/QUOTE]
Are you implying you've gotten the game through.....other means?
Honestly surprised nobody's shitting on EA for this obv PR move
Seriously, this is fucking incredible, if this doesn't get people to donate more than the minimum amount, nothing will
I already have all those games
what do?

Give them $20
Anyone's origin redeem product code page not loading?
not loading for me either
It was too good to be true

There's one thing I can see EA doing, depending if it's Humble donating on behalf of EA, or EA getting the proceeds and then donating - tax deductible donations.
[QUOTE=AssTastic;41837636]Anyone's origin redeem product code page not loading?[/QUOTE]
It's probably overloaded, be patient. I doubt they ever get this amount of people redeeming codes at the same time normally.
holy shit

Doubt EA gets the money at all. I don't think the Indie devs from previous bundles got the charity money to then donate, so it probably just goes directly to the charity without EA being the middleman.

Yeah mine loaded finally, 'tis all good.
Excited to play Sims 3 again, although now I have to wait for premium edition of BF3 to go for pretty cheap
The most traffic Origin has had ever has brought down their servers.

What is your fucking problem? Do you want people to get banned?

can't forget about the whole coupon fiasco where people were picking up free games under $20

I hope so. To be honest, it doesn't really bother me. It's win win for consumers, charities, Humble Bundle and EA. There are no losers, except for my HDD and internet connection.
[quote]Origin and EA are donating their share of the proceeds from this bundle to the following charities![/quote]
Wow.

People don't usually complain when free/dirt cheap games are involved.

But what about the "lost sales"? :rolleye:
[QUOTE=Im Crimson;41837832]But what about the "lost sales"? :rolleye:[/QUOTE]
How are they lost sales if they weren't going to make the sale anyway?
That said, they'll probably make more sales in DLC for those games now.
Anyone know if the Sims 3 comes with the simpoints you normally get for registering?

Exactly, I'm just being lame.
And it is indeed worth noting how (to my knowledge) 3 of those games have DLC that isn't included.
Best part of this is that The Sims 3 soundtrack is included
Wow, it's a shame that I already own most games on console but I'm probably gonna buy this anyway
[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;41836833][url]https://www.humblebundle.com/[/url]
Hate EA all you want but you have to admit this is a pretty great move, Dead Space, Burnout Paradise, Crysis 2, Mirror's Edge, Dead Space 3, Medal of Honour, Battlefield 3 and The Sims 3 + the starter pack all for ~$5[/QUOTE]
In on this. Have none of these titles.
Best bundle ever..
EA donating????
Wait a second.. somethings not right here....
Hello guyz, I never did that but I really want this bundle.... I miss 0.60$ on my paypal account to buy it for Battlefield 3. If someone would like to send them to me, and as soon as my bank transfert some $$ to my paypal I will give back 1$ to that person. I really hope someone is kind enough to make me happy :wink:
[EMAIL="tomatomy@gmail.com"]tomatomy@gmail.com[/EMAIL] = PayPal
( as soon as someone is good enough to send me the 0.60$, i'll edit this post to have it only one time of course.)
(my first post since 2 years lol)
Kinda disappointed that there's no Mass Effect 3 on there. Would've made me buy it.
