Burnout Paradise? ehhh. Rest in peace, Revenge.

Man I want to get this so my friend and I can play BF3 together, but he has a netbook :/
 
Provides Dead Space 1 and 3.
Fails to provide Dead Space 2, forcing you to purchase it if you want to fill the void.

Not a problem for those who subscribed to PS+ earlier in the year. :P

No great loss though, I found DS2 to be an average game made unplayable due to unwieldy movement and a POV that obscures too much of the screen. It would be nice if they added Mass Effect 2 as that would fill my personal ME void.
 
It is a great bundle and -of course- I bought it.
But I think it´s a good deal for EA although they don`t get any money. They are not stupid. It´s a great advertisement for Battlefield 4 and Sims 4. Also they will get a lot of money selling sims 3 expansions and there is the Dead Space 3 in-game shop (I think this is the reason why there is Dead Space 1 + 3 and not 1 + 2).
The bundle is good for their reputation and many people will install origin for the first time.
The bundle is a win-win-situation for costumers and EA.

Exactly. I figure the bundle's also a loss leader for Origin. Sure, they may be losing some money now, but if they can get people to install Origin and continue using it, that's going to be a win for them in the long term. Plus, the nice PR certainly doesn't hurt.

For a company that's made its fair share of mistakes, this bundle was a very, very smart move.
 
So what do you all think will be the bonus game they'll add to the bundle after 7 days on sale (they do this for every bundle)?

My first thoughts were obviously Dead Space 2 but maybe there is a reason for not including ME 1or 2 in the bundle because they might be the bonus instead!

Any other ideas... Tomb Raider, Sims dlc?

From the leaked key on steam

Dead Space 2, Bulletstorm, MOH Airborne, And C & C 3 Uprising
 
You mean you did not play it on your amiga? You do realise this will have to be taken before the amiga fanclub council don't you?
I didn't have it for my Amiga, and I didn't even know it existed before I bought one of those awesome budget editions (Kixx, etc. I miss them) for PC :(

And somehow I only started buying magazines after I got a PC :O
 
Does anyone have any codes for the humble bundle games in previous months?

I am looking for:
the Walking Dead
Dead island riptide
metro 2033

if anyone has these codes, please let me know. In return, I have spare keys for burnout paradise and Medal of honor (plus a few others)
