GOG team, King's Bounty is apparently now 0MB.

To think, people were moaning over the DLC only being 5MB, what would they think about that?
This is a really good idea for a promo, the games themselves came very close to but didn't quite manage to get me to part with my money - maybe it I didnt already have The Witcher, my backlog wasnt so big, I wasn't so poor etc.
^ Heh, pretty much the same reasons I haven't jumped in on the deal yet too.
Although, that darn Inquisitor is going to keep calling me these next 6 days and will want to bring 4 friends with him. I imagine he'll call over and over again on the weekend so we can hang out and get to know each other. Yikes!

"Don't have five games to choose from?
Buy only the 1 missing game: $4.00 (you save: $15.99) "

Why GOG? WHY??? Now I have to pick up Lucius too. I've just read a couple of reviews and that it has been updated with a lot of patches and alternate ending so it's hard to resist. I'm poor, and you are making me even poorer.

Leroux: As to the free collector's DVDs (plus shipping) that's all fine and dandy unless you live in Central Europe and the shipping is almost as expensive as the games themselves would have cost. I'd rather have the "free" and superior DVD content available as digital download from my Telltale account instead of those broken DRM installers.

MoP: Guess I got lucky with this, I bought a "Telltale Christmas pack" some two years ago or so from them, with most of their stuff offered at the time, and the shipping for all of the DVDs (3 seasons of Sam&Max, Wallace & Gromit, and Strong Bad) was free.
Wow, I certainly wouldn't have complained about that. I guess they changed for the worse then ... (I mean I don't expect them to pay everyone's shipping costs, I could even understand if they think it's too much of a hassle to give everyone GOG keys, but what's so hard about replacing the installers on their website with the DRM-free versions they had no problem to deliver to GOG and Desura? That just doesn't make any sense, and since they don't care to explain it, it makes them look pretty bad.)

I bought the ToMI on DVD and was really happy with the game, but I agree the price was a bit high. Re-bought it here at Christmas at a much nicer price, and I am just waiting for Hector and The Walking Dead to come here so I can buy them DRM free and at a better price (on sale).

I bought Sam & Max Season One on DVD for about $40 (including English & German voiceovers) and was happy with it, too. That was back in the days when I still loved Telltale, before all this horrible digital download DRM business of theirs. My issue with them is not so much about the prices nor about the games (although not all of them are very good), but about the way they treat their customers. I refuse to buy all their games that I already own a second time, even if it's just for a few dollars, just because they don't fix the versions for their direct customers (and I must assume they do that on purpose).

First of all: Great offer, I really appreciate it. On the other hand, a little bit more choice as mentioned before, would be great, since I already own most of these titles.
I bought a few Windows-only games, since GOG has still not caught on with Humble Indie Bundle, Desura and Steam on the Linux platform. Really GOG, I'd rather spend it here (apart from the HIB bundles, you can't beat their offer...) then on the expensive, buggy Desura or the DRM-ridden Steam of course. Of all digital providers, HIB delivers the most, allowing me to play on as much as four platforms(Win, Mac, Linux, some Android) to choose from, while still keeping it DRM free). Until then I will refuse to buy games here that are also available on Linux through other acceptable channels.

Amazing! Amount of hours for the amounts of money spent on GOG.com is sensational.!!!!
Aw, c'mon GOG, we just gave each other so much this Christmas - I need months or years to go through my backlog. Time to make it bigger I guess :) my main reason for getting this bundle is actually to get a GOG version of LoG, but might as well add some others on that look interesting, right? I mean, cheap, future-proof, awesome games? Heck yeah.

Love this site, everything it stands for, and the games and people on it :)
Amazing offer though I have most of the things I want, curious about Deponia though.
Thank you, sir, may I have another?

On purpose, I hope not.
I would like to think that TellTale do think about their customers. Maybe they like the idea of the register once DRM as it lets them know how many people have their game, against how many bought it. Then in their eyes it never bothers the user again.

I remember reading that although World Of Goo is technically DRM free, it does say 'hello' to their server when submitting scores so they get a count of the number of the games installed against their sales (they use the unique game identification number, and IP addresses against their sale). This was so they could try and see how often their game was to be pirated against being bought. There is just one problem, in that I have multiple installations of the game, so they will think it has been pirated when all I did was install it to another machine I use.

2D Boy also reported a 90% pirate rate, so still better then EA - http://2dboy.com/2008/11/13/90/
Ok anyone getting the promo who already has Inquisitor?
Only games I don't have are Piddle and Pud. It says I can buy just those two ($2 each) but... not sure if want? Opinions please?
