Sony and THQ Nordic are partnering up for the next Humble Bundle, and it does look to provide a decent bunch of games for quite the decent price. However it is limited to those who have American accounts, so those without one will be missing out. Those who do have such an account can grab the likes of The Book Of Unwritten Tales 2, the Darksiders games and the Destroy All Humans games for $15. As it is a Humble Bundle you can choose to pay more to donate more to charity, or pay less than that value to get fewer games.
The tiers are below.
For $1 or more:
- The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 (PS4)
- Red Faction (PS4)
- Super Dungeon Bros. (PS4)
- Deponia (PS4)
- ArcaniA: The Complete Tale (PS4)
Beat The Average Price nets these plus games above:
- Legend of Kay Anniversary (select either PS3 or PS4)
- Battle Worlds Kronos (PS4)
- Destroy All Humans! (PS4)
- Destroy All Humans! 2 (PS4)
Pay $15 or more to get everything including:
- MX vs. ATV Supercross (PS3)
- Darksiders (PS3)
- Darksiders II (PS3)
- MX vs. ATV Supercross Encore (PS4)
- Darksiders Warmastered (PS4)
- Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition (PS4)
The bundle isn’t live just yet with it available from 7PM BST or 11am PST, and will be live on the Humble Bundle store page.

Is there likely to be any reason we can’t buy it here and download the games from “that US PSN account we’ve all got with one of about 3 zip-codes”? Are they going to do any payment shenanigans to stop that?

There’s only one fake US account zip code worth having, Beverly Hills baby!
MrYd
Well, that’s the one most people use. But I believe some people may use a different one. Like wherever Sony are located in the US? There’s probably a lot of accounts registered to that zip-code.
And I’m sure some people have taken advantage of the added comedy value of registering their account to where MS are.

Ah yes, the old Beverly Hills 90210… incredibly high concentration of Playstation owners living there apparently.. :D
freezebug2
Indeed dude, that Beverly Hills zip has served me well throughout the last decade…..boobs!

The North American divide again :/

And just to answer my own question, yes, you can buy it in the UK. At least, you can buy it using any balance you have in a Paypal account. No guarantee that paying with a card that isn’t registered to an address in one of the SCIEA countries works.
Then you get 1 key to redeem in the PSN store (on your account with an obviously fake zip-code) and you can download the games.
You don’t even need to be logged into the same account once you start downloading them. You can switch back to a UK account and it’ll carry on downloading.
The PSN is being a bit flakey today though. If it says “cannot download”, try again until it works.

Yep, totally bought this on my US account.

Some of those games are on sale in the EU PSN store, for some sort of holiday sale. I’m not sure what sort of holiday sale it is, because I can’t be arsed to read the words, I’ll just complain about it not mentioning something it clearly mentions ;)
The 5 games you get for $1 (or about 84p) cost £76.45. Which is a bargain.
The “beat the average” price brings it up to £100.61
And if you pay the full $15, you get £166.58 of games. (That’s ignoring the PS3 versions of that highest priced bundle)
All that for somewhere between 84p and £12.60. But think carefully about your backlog! It might get too big to manage!
Also, don’t go and spend all the money you save on Spring Holiday Chocolate Celebration Eggs. They’re made of the worst of the chocolates and you’ll only end up disappointed.

Picked this up. Amazing deal for $15, the amount of games is unreal. Gotta love that 90210.
