    I'd be all over this if it was for iPad or XBOX! I don't play games on my laptop these days.

      You could spend a few dollars and get a video out cable of some sort (if your laptop has that option) and X360 controllers are plug and play so it'd be very little effort to get it all working.

        X360 controllers are plug and play so it'd be very little effort to get it all working.

        Don't forget the wireless gaming receiver (~$25) which is needed for the controller to be able to communicate with the computer.

          You mean ~$6
          http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Controller-Wireless-Gaming-Receiv…

          These work perfectly fine

          I suppose if you are happy to wait 4-5 weeks for delivery only to receive a product which might not even last that long.

          I used to sell these on eBay couple years back and it was a total loss for me. Ended up having to refund nearly every sale. Could have all come from a bad batch, but it left an impression on me and I would never recommend these to anyone.

          As they say, you get what you pay for. The official receiver is well worth the extra cost.

          If anyone wants a box of Chinese knockoffs, send me an email. Free to pick up southside of Brisbane.

          I have one in operation which has been used for the last 4 years without any issue (besides early Windows 8 driver problems but that is a different story).

          I actually had no faith in these things so I ordered a couple since they were cheap as chips and I figured I'd need spares, but I haven't had to use them yet. I can't say the same for some of the cheapo play and charge kits though. You win some, you lose some! :P

        • [Deactivated] on 22/11/2013 - 11:10

          These HK ones work perfectly. Dont pay more for the same crap.

        • HomeAlone on 22/11/2013 - 11:50

          Receivers are gone. Won't let me edit.

        • theguyrules on 22/11/2013 - 12:19

          Eh? I've had mine working fine for easily 2 years. Not bad for $10.

        • dqtl74 on 22/11/2013 - 17:31

          The ebay ones work great, you just have to fiddle around with the drivers.

        • theguyrules on 22/11/2013 - 18:15

          I remember in Windows 7 I had to download drivers from the Xbox site, in Windows 8 they were already there, just had to select them (it didnt automagically do it).

      Great point, added to the first post for those that don't read comments. Hope you don't mind.

      • GravyNanna on 22/11/2013 - 13:38

        :) No problemo buddy

    • justtoreply on 22/11/2013 - 12:46

      Donating to the philippines is good. Doing it through the american red cross.. well, do a google search. They are accused as one of the worst to withhold the majority (90% according to CNN) of donations for their own profits.

      Everytime I see american cross is the recipient of bundle donation money I have to set the payment slider such that they don't get a cent. I couldn't support a charity that rakes in money and misuses it, deciding not to even pay to screen blood donations properly for AIDS!

      If you want to help, please consider a separate donation to Unicef or Worldvision.

      • GravyNanna on 22/11/2013 - 13:37

        Wow I did not know that! Thanks for the info mate.

        I think you may have got your figures the wrong way around unless CNN's network disagrees with itself.

        90.7% of donations are delivered to programs. The 9.3% withheld is to keep the charity running, in otherwords a little over 9 cents in the dollar goes to the financing of the charity.

        http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary…

        Some other charities for comparison (remember higher is better):
        WWF - 73%
        World Vision - 84.7% (note this is your suggested charity and it is worse than Red Cross)
        Oxfam - 78.9%

        You can do further reading on Red Cross at CNN's own site:
        http://money.cnn.com/2013/05/24/pf/donations-charities/

        All info is US based of course.

          I kinda split my thoughts over two posts. Sorry for the disorganisation, I need time to clean it the posts.

          Just the headlines of the results here are worrisome http://www.google.com.au/search?q=american+red+cross+stealin…

          Here's one link at random: http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2005/010905red…

          Hurricane Katrina, 9/11, Haiti - they allegedly failed to pay out the donations properly.

          As for what their own website says, I wouldn't trust a darn thing the red cross says. They also stated their CEO was on a price freeze of $500000 salary, when in fact their forms submitted to the IRS said she was on $1m. That was a stupid lie that was going to be exposed, yet they still had the gall to try it: http://phillydeclaration.org/2013/01/11/theft-of-aid-bad-fai…

          I wish these problems were unique to the American Red Cross. Sadly it feels like we are forced to pick between lesser evils sometimes.

        • justtoreply on 22/11/2013 - 17:15

          I like your link. And Indeed, trying to find a link about the 10% payout is proving difficult. Finding links to show that they are not paying out 90% is very easy though.

          Here's an example with 33% paid out after 7 months for hurricane Sandy: http://news.yahoo.com/much-red-cross-fund-sandy-aid-still-un…
          There is certainly going to be a better ratio in time. But one wonders how much long term spending is required when they are 'there to provide health care but not rebuild infrastructure'.

          I also wonder if that website is capable of tracking against clever accounting. The American Red Cross, being so closely related to the government, has a few creative-accounting advantages I'm sure. During my googling I read of contracts where they get back much of the funds they paid out due to contracts to supply shelter during emergencies. What happened with the funds they got back? Allegedly they kept them.

          Anyway, I probably need to look much much harder into this. I'm not going to resolve it with quick googling.

        • WeiKaiLe on 22/11/2013 - 17:30

          That is in regards to being paid out in a timely manner. The money eventually goes to where it needs to go, they just don't rush it out. This is a factor with many many charities, because they tend to spread the donations over projects that go on for years.

          EDIT: I think in reality most major charities are much the same. If they manage to get 100% of their money back through shifty techniques, who cares as along as 90% of your donations go to doing something positive for those in need.

    awesome deal… shame no Mac OS support :(

  • danielh on 22/11/2013 - 10:30

    I love the Star Wars once on my iPad. Pity it does not include the new 3 SW tables (assuming that it is out on PC).

    Got the lot for US$6.

  • Gravy on 22/11/2013 - 11:01

    Got the email this morning. Awesome deal for a fantastic set of pinball tables. You can also play these in vertical mode if your monitor supports rotation which adds a bit of realism. I've got a feeling they have times this release to put a dent in the newly released Steam version of Pinball Arcade.

    By the way, if anyone is really into pinball be sure to check out www.futurepinball.com (free) and a very cool mod for it called BAM which supports headtracking to give an ultra realistic pinball cabinet view with perspective correction as you move your head around (I had the same idea a few years ago but lacked the brain power to implement it so kudos to the dude that did eventually develop it). http://www.ravarcade.pl

  • bargainjargon on 22/11/2013 - 11:08

    Sweet deal. Too bad they're not on mobile devices. Still gonna get it though.

  • Mik on 22/11/2013 - 11:09

    Wasn't going to collect tables on PC as I already have a big Xbox collection. But at this price…. +1

    • Gravy on 22/11/2013 - 11:16

      I don't think the Xbox 360 or PS3 version support native 1080P though do they? A good reason to get the PC version (plus the ability to rotate the screen and play in vertical mode).

      Real tables are cool for sure, but cost a bit more than $6 for unlimited play on 20+ tables. Less portable too :)

  • Black Hole on 22/11/2013 - 11:45

    Are the keys separate so that I can gift them out individually?

    • SuperMatty on 22/11/2013 - 12:36
      +1

      It's split into two steam keys - one for the 'base' set in the bundle, and one for the 'pay $6 or more' extras.

      Please note that 'all purchases are for your personal use only' - if you hand the keys out to different people you're technically in breach of the terms of the sale. Pretty sure this has always been the case with the Humble store.

      ALSO, the Humble store now uses a different method to redeem steam keys - you don't just get given a text code, you authenticate with the steam store and link your account. I suspect this is to counter the key splitting issues, though you can un-link your steam account later if you want.

    • jzdhgkd on 22/11/2013 - 18:30

      $6 for the lot.. why not gift the entire pack and give all to charity? I know this is Ozbargain but c'mon man.

  • GreyGargoyle on 22/11/2013 - 12:10

    Oh nice! Thanks for the find.

    I don't think anyone has mentioned it before but the base game is free on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/226980/
    if anyone wants to try it before spending money on DLCs for a game they may never play.
