(Or less.) Maybe you didn't check it out, since you mentioned something about those kind of deals including only a "limited selection" of games ... actually it seems like there are quite a lot of games available for this deal, both new and old.

The Mac version is basically done, but PopCap wants to put up a whole bunch of new Mac stuff at once (sort of a re-vamp of their Mac offerings).

Yes, the Big Fish packs can be a good deal if the games you want are included in the offer. Usually though, the newest releases aren't on that list. It's sort of like the BMG/Columbia House record deals - good for picking up a lot of games at a good price, but with somewhat limited selection.

(Along with some other higher-quantity deals.) I was considering buying a couple of games, so at this price, I can get 3 more for just 10 bucks extra. Not bad. Now I just wonder if other game portals will feel like they have to follow suit with similar deals.
