For this week, what bundle site do you think has the best bundle(s)?
I didn't see a thread about this, Freebird Combo Pack. Is that considered as bundle?

Not quite! It's only two games... More of what I call a deal :)

Thank you Rachel for all this AAA information!
You're spoiling us with all these ready to read bundle posts! ^ ^

Jesus Rachel, like others have said it, way to give yourself more work. :P
Seriously though, what a handy thready, insta-bookmarked as well! ;)
Even better to check the bundles here than on their respective websites, considering the trouble you went through to add store links to them all, etc., etc. (basically all the info really needed). So much faster, considering at least 1-2 (if not more) of the bundle sites listed can be somewhat sluggish at times.
Not only are you alleviating the load on their end, above all else, you're making it much friendlier to navigate on our end. That's what i call a win-win. :)

yay! i'm glad you bookmarked this. I see it as win win too because it's easier for me to keep track of what is going on XD SG doesn't make it very easy to filter threads by date or user ><

Could I get this in a google docs spreadsheet, complete with cross-referencing with what I currently own and then corss referenced and color-coded with my wishlist? Oh, and let's add columns for current price, lowest price, how many card drops, and how many card drops I have remaining for each game I do own from each bundle? Ah yes, and don't forget my 10am bagel and coffee with two sugars.
Kidding! Please don't kill me, Rachel. <3

As a side note, do we even have stickied topics on SG?

I really think you need to list the date the bundle was added/created to each entry. Anyone skimming for current bundles will have no idea which bundle(s) were recently added with the current system. I would suggest a 2-digit year, 2-digit month (or 3-letter-word month) and 2-digit day format, with some kind of delimiter between each section.
IMO the icons make it too busy, and are defined too arbitrarily. One person's re-bundled mess is another person's second chance. One person's hot, must-buy bundle is another person's "meh, those games suck" bundle. It seems like the icons are trying to assign motive and relevance to an otherwise neutral list. If you set one bundle as "hot" what does that say about the other bundles that aren't listed as "hot"? What makes a bundle "hot"? That said, if you do keep the icons then get rid of the ones that aren't based on emotional arguments. Keep "ending soon" (with a definition listed, "soon" isn't good enough) or "recently added" (and I'd widen it to 48 hours, not the word "day"). I dislike the "Happy Hour" icon because that's exclusive to one bundle site, but it might also be useful/relevant to some folks.
I also don't like that there are "main bundles" and "other bundles", but this isn't nearly as big of a deal as the icons, IMO. I'm not as delusional as a HAES activist, but surely we don't discriminate based on the bundle source, but instead it's contents? :)

well i have been adding the dates as they become live, but for the older ones i do not.
As for the icons, the rebundle sign is to acknowledge that yes, it has been available in the pass. I am in no way discriminating against bundles that "suck" and those that are "good with the use of symbols. I'm just going based off of what the community is saying, not what I am thinking personally.
As i stated above in the poll instructions, what is define as the hot bundle / site of the week if from comments ive seen and poll results.
Additionally, none of these icons are meant to stir up emotions. They are neutral .. symbols ...
hot buy = popular
ending soon = buy before it's too late
I don't quite understand the emotional aspect, but i guess people interpret things differently and get excited / emotional over different things they see.
If you don't find this thread helpful, I apologize. Thank you for your input.

Just for curiosity: Do you receive any value to announce bundles??
Comment has been collapsed.
receive value? as in personal value? no. I do it to be helpful, and I like reporting bundles. I don't get anything out of it, but that part doesn't concern me. I'm here to inform the community, but not to give myself any spotlight.
My philosophy is to give, rather than receive. I give the community the space to talk and to make informed decisions. So as long as I can be helpful, I'll keep doing so.

There's email alerts you can set up by subscribing to this site's newsletters! This tells you when bundles go live or on happy hour. It's really helpful for me because then I know which bundle that is on HH or has been recently added. And it's very accurate and prompt!
Props to user dgc1980
Wondering what games you already own from each bundle? There's an extension/ UserScript for that! It's called the RaChart™ Enhancer, created by my friend and fellow SG member Sighery!

Instructions for poll:
Ideally, I want the poll to reflect the community’s WEEKLY thoughts on the bundles available for that week.
I will list several bundle sites, and you can check this thread daily/weekly to get a hopefully updated poll on what bundle sites and/or bundles are Hot Buys for that week :)
BUT this means that people need to check back regularly and update their polling option to best reflect their opinions on the bundles/sites!
