      ~$90 worth of games for $9 is a pretty good bargain.

      JV, not technically a lucky dip. Lucky Dips are randomly chosen games from a large selection that includes really good and really bad stuff. These 7 games, if I am not reading wrong from OP or the Square Enix site are fixed full priced games and is the same for everyone. Only difference is that they will release the names of the games at a later date.

          https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lucky_dip

          Notice the word "Random" in the definition? The games comes from a fixed list that is provided by Square Enix. Even though you may already have some of the games already, it definitely is not "Random"ly given to you.

      See how over 130 people think this is a good deal? If you dont like the idea, dont buy it.

      You dont have to like it for it to be a good deal.

      Edit:
      Imagine a deal was posted for 10kg of assorted cadbury chocolate for $5 but you didnt know exactly what ones you would get until it arrives. You dont think that would be a good deal still? It would be a great deal (for everyone but you apparently).

        Out of 2414 who viewed it… That's about 5% of people who think this is a good deal… 95% don't think it's a good deal…

          Maybe if you were smart enough you would realise that not all viewers vote on the deal… so you should probably relax and cop the loss this time.

          Oh wow. 5% of people clicked like. Just like pretty much every other deal posted here. Suggesting the difference between number of likes and number of clicks = dislikes is absurd.

          Only one person i have seen complaining about it.

          Lets see what else must NOT be a deal because it has 5% likes

          How about the top voted deal here: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/277705

          Nah no deal, only around 5% likes……

          BTW it has 0 negs. So out of thousands of views, not one person thought it wasnt a deal? 100% upvotes makes me think you are wrong.

          Edit: JV, making people hit their 24h downvoting limit since 2009.

          EDIT2: you didnt answer my question. Would 10kg of cadbury for $5 be a deal if you didnt know what blocks were going to arrive?

    Just cause 3 will be in it, but DLC included? We'll see. U reckon they'll give episode 1 of hitman too.

    • kurisu on 13/12/2016 - 11:13

      The entire bundle of 7 games is worth "over £55". Just Cause 3 with expansion pass DLC costs £59.98 on Steam, which is more than the entire bundle is worth.

    • ProspectiveDarkness on 13/12/2016 - 17:09

      U reckon they'll give episode 1 of hitman too.

      Hadn't thought of that, that's a good point actually. They probably will so they can try to sell people on the rest of the episodes. Might buy after all.

        I contacted their customer support asking;

        "I'm interested in the Holiday Surprise Box 2016.
        If purchased from Australia with Australian (AUD) currency, what will your refund policy be?"

        And received this reply;

        Thank you for contacting the Square Enix EU Online Store Support.

        As stated on our website: "All transactions will be made and kept record of, reimbursed and accounted for in the currency you used for your purchase."

        Which I understand to reference the return policy;

        You have fourteen calendar days, counted from the date of reception of the merchandise, within which to return the Product, with no obligation of justification or payment of penalties.

        The Customer must first notify the support team that they will be exercising their right of withdrawal in by emailing the customer support specifying 'WITHDRAWAL OF ORDER' as the reason.

        So….. I'll be purchasing and hoping for either Rise if the Tomb Raider or Deus Ex : Mankind Divided, and probably refunding if it contains neither of those games.

        Hope this helps people.

      •Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris
      •Thief
      •Final Fantasy XIII
      •Life is Strange Episode 1
      •Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn

      how much did they charge for this?

      • Ignited By Fury on 13/12/2016 - 11:28

        As far as I recall, it was the same price last year.

      • cannedhams on 13/12/2016 - 16:21

        I wouldnt have been happy. Only Episode 1 of LIS seemed pretty churlish. Thief was pretty disappointing. FFIV is pay to play, isnt it?

        Pity as they used to have quite good deals in the past.

  • Mugsy on 13/12/2016 - 03:18

    My guess…

    Deus Ex: Mankind Divided or Just Cause 3
    Rise of the Tomb Raider
    Life Is Strange Complete Season 1
    Hitman Episode 1
    Final Fantasy VII
    I Am Setsuna
    The Turning Test

    • kurisu on 13/12/2016 - 10:21
      +4

      Deus Ex: Mankind Divided or Just Cause 3 is "worth" £39.99 on Steam at the moment.
      Life Is Strange Complete Season 1 is "worth" £15.99 on Steam at the moment.
      Those two games alone add up to over £55, so this list may be a bit over-optimistic.

    • doublezero1 on 13/12/2016 - 14:26

      reckon you could be right on Life is Strange Complete, Hitman Episode 1 and a Final Fantasy game. Would be fantastic if it was Mankind Divided but Invisible War may be the Deus Ex game.

    • deadpoet on 13/12/2016 - 16:57

      Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

      Not a chance man. Game is still too new.

      Rise of the Tomb Raider

      I'm really hoping for this, but it's a very very slim chance, judging by how crappy the discounts have been for this game so far.

      I reckon Life is Strange complete season will be included.

      • Mugsy on 13/12/2016 - 18:35
        +1

        Yes, DE:MD is a long shot but I seem to recall the Tomb Raider 2013 game being included in the 2013 xmas surprise box so you never know what might happen.

        Just Cause 3 does stand a better chance though.

        I suppose the last of the Final Fantasy XIII games also needs to be included at some point too.

        Anyway, they say 7 games so here's hoping that there's two AAA titles. Easter box was a bit lacking in all honesty; as was last year's xmas box.

    Based on previous trends of giving us what was in the previous one's (Easter) discount offer, I'm guessing Just Cause 3 and Rise of the Tomb Raider.

      7 games though.

    This is my prediction so please take it with a grain of salt. I think they will give Life is Strange (the whole eps), Hitman Absolution, Eps 1 of the new Hitman, Tomb Raider definitive edition, FFXIV, Deus Ex Human Revolution and Final Fantasy XIII-2 this time.

    • Mugsy on 15/12/2016 - 23:37

      These were the games from the Easter Surprise Box this year:

      FINAL FANTASY VII
      FINAL FANTASY XIII-2
      Sleeping Dogs - Definitive Edition
      Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut
      Quantum Conundrum

      So I don't think DE:HR or FF13-2 will be included.

      Lightning Returns stands a good chance IMHO.
