    And then there's the Humble Indie Bundle 9 which updated today with four extra games. I expect most of you have already bought it, but for the few who aren't aware:

    • Trine 2
    • Mark of the Ninja
    • Eets Munchies Beta
    • Brutal Legend
    • Fez
    • FTL
    • Bastion
    • Limbo
    • A Virus Named TOM
    • Rocketbirds: Hard Boiled Chicken

    for only $4.70 is ridiculously good value. Those are some of the best indie titles of the last few years. Eets, Virus, and Rocketbirds are the only ones which aren't the crème de la crème.

    Is the anyway around the whole Humble bundle not accepting debit cards? Tried on about 3 separate occasions with multiple attempts but it's pretty keen on not letting me buy it.

    Paypal? Or call your bank? Cause my debit card has always worked fine.

    I pay through Amazon. Pretty sure Amazon accepts Debit Cards, although I haven't tried it when buying a humble bundle.

    I'd either hook my debit card up to Paypal, or if that makes you feel uncomfortable, then buy a throwaway pre-paid VISA credit card. I can buy them from my local post office and I'm in the middle of Bum Fuck Nowhere, Australia, so I'm sure there's somewhere close to you that sells them.

    Pre-paid VISA works online. You don't need a name. Perfect for anonymous payments. It usually costs Card Value + $6ish. So, approx $106 for a $100 VISA card.

    If you want to be anonymous then make sure you buy a Prepaid VISA Gift Card and use cash. If you don't care about that, then a Reloadable Visa Prepaid Card is probably better for you because you can add extra funds to it later on.

    I think Mastercard do something similar though you might have to go to your local bank branch to buy one.

    Prepaid gift cards aren't really good for anonymous shopping on the internet. I recently got a prepaid gift card and I was unable to use it online. I checked out the issuing bank and they required that I attach the card to my ssn. I wasn't willing to do that, so I just used the money for gas.

    Perhaps that's related to a financial regulation in your country or your issuing bank likes to farm your data. Do your research before buying obviously.

    I've had no trouble buying anon VISA credit cards in Australia. I pay cash and use the cardholder name printed on the card [eg. "Valued Cardholder"] when purchasing online. It works for me.

    They're on sale because the GoTY Edition will be out soon, next month I think.

    Which won't really be GOTY edition since new dlc will be released after that as well. Odds are, the GOTY will just be BL2+Seasons Pass stuff, which will probably be priced around $30+ anyway.

    edit: Ninja'd by BigZ... 25 minutes ago. <_<

    The GOTY is due in three weeks. It does NOT contain all of the DLC.

    BL2 has heaps of DLC and there's no sign of it stopping. By all means buy the GOTY if you're interested in playing BL2 now.

    You can see the difference between Gearbox's GOTY announcement vs. their DLC list on Steam.

    http://store.steampowered.com/app/49520/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_1

    GOTY comes with:

    • Borderlands 2 Main Game
    • Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s Booty
    • Mr. Torgue’s Campaign of Carnage
    • Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt
    • Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep
    • Creature Slaughter Dome
    • Premiere Club Content:
      • Gaige, the Mechromancer Character Class
      • Gearbox Gun Pack
      • Golden Key
      • Vault Hunter's Relic
    • Krieg, the Psycho Character Class
    • Collector’s Edition Heads and Skins
    • Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 1

    True, but I'd thought I'd mention it anyways. But yeah, probably another collection or Ultimate Edition or something will have all the other DLC in a year or two.

    What is the price point of the GOTY edition anyway? As it is, you can probably get BL2+Seasons Pass+Krieg+Gaige for under $28, which is pretty much everything in the GOTY edition except the Creature Slaughter Dome and the Collector's Edition skins.

    Edit: Saw it in the link. $59.99. Ouch, you might as well grab it all in the sale now and get everything far cheaper individually.

    If you're a member of GameFly, they have a 2K deal going on. Borderlands 2 is only $9.99 there although the DLC is a bit more than the previous link. Its for Windows though which is a plus.

    Other deals are:
    Borderlands GotY: 5.99
    Bioshock Infinite: 13.99
    Civ V Gold: 16.99
    Civ V Brave New World: 9.99
    XCOM Enemy Unknown: 13.59

    There are a couple other deals, but nothing too special.
