  Hmm, the front page says $4.97, but then when I add it to the cart it says $5.05…

      Well on top of that, when it comes time to pay with PayPal it's now $5.24…

        All payments are taken in GBP; £3.30 is approximately AU$5.05.

        Plus paypal takes "Paypal Tax" check any time you make a purchase, the exchange rate is always different to the current exchange rate as they charge a currency conversion.

        Yeah, I know they use different rates, it's just a bit misleading when the bundlestars site specifically states "AU $4.97".

  Also might be worth noting Bundle 1 still available. I just had a look at it, the games looked better (to me) so I bought two bundles.

    I noticed that but I had the opposite impression - the games in Bundle 2 look better to me (particularly Unstoppable Gorg, Stellar Impact and Dead Horde), plus it has a couple more games to be added plus it's cheaper. But either way, it's not like either of them are bad bundles.

    Just purchased. Where do I get the keys for these two from?

      I'm wondering too… no keys for these two on my My Account page. :(

      EDIT: From their blog it says
      If you pick up the bundle now, you’ll have immediate access to eight indie games, including Stellar Impact, Unstoppable Gorg and Future Wars. Keep checking back to see when our two mystery titles are unlocked: they’ll go straight into your account area when they are.

    Thanks for telling us the mystery titles.

    Bought this specifically for Trauma - the game's premise sounds interesting.
    http://store.steampowered.com/app/98100/
    TRAUMA tells a story of a young woman who survives a car accident. Recovering at the hospital, she has dreams that shed light on different aspects of her identity - such as the way she deals with the loss of her parents. TRAUMA lets you experience those dreams in an interactive way, reminiscent of Point-and-Click Adventure Games.

    Dead Horde sounds interesting to a lesser extent given the sightly negative reviews.

    Ultimately, Dead Horde is in an unfortunate position. It is a technically well-executed game, and its flaws are easily overlooked when you consider its budget pricing. However, the game doesn't really try anything different, and many other games have done it better in the past. The heavy reuse of assets makes it a chore to get through levels after you've done a couple of them, and the gameplay boils down to little more than using jump as often as possible and shooting your assault rifle, regardless of what you're facing or where you are. The title isn't particularly bad, nor is it particularly good; it finds itself in an uncomfortable middle, where it lacks glaring flaws as well as any memorable qualities.
