Thank you so much for telling me about that. I already got Xotix and Ball, and they are awesome, but the rest of the games are totally worth it for this, if it truely is Pay What You Want,a nd they don't come out with any nasty surprises upon releasing it.

Sure, I am not saying - hey stop time now for me! All I am saying is - there are many cool deals out there with these bundles. And even though I like them A LOT (wanted SS indie/BoH/GG for a long time) I feel a bit stretched financially to keep up. I would like to, but I do not know whether I would be able to. And when all this just started frequently it was "ok, let's just support those guys doing a good thing" case for me. Right now it is more of a "hey... do I still really want this? Ok..." I just hope this explosion will not leave a desert behind, so to speak. In other words, I just hope that when some bundles will stop being successful (please note, I have not said "if") it will not bring the whole movement to a stop.
By the way, did you already notice that all bundles are becoming more expensive? IR increased their minimum starting price from 2 USD to 3 USD (pre-orders are from 4 USD), IndieGala has a minimum price of 1 USD, HB gives no Steam-key unless you pay 1 USD. While (except for IR price hike) these measures seem very reasonable they are also a sign of increasing competition - more bundles->less money people have for every bundle to spend->minimum price increase to boost incomes/reduce losses.

Indieroyale starting price is now the same as the pre-order ($3.99) even though they said future bundles would start at 2.99. Now this doesn't have to be a problem but they never even said anything about changing the price and didn't respond to my question about it.

Nothing wrong with you expressing your desire to get more sales, just as well as nothing wrong with other people expressing their desire to get less. ;) Opinions differ and everyone can state theirs. :)
By the way there is one fundamental difference between Steam sales and Bundles. You know which one? Steam sales more often than not repeat themselves, if you did not get game X this time you will get it next time at (usually approximately same) price. Well so far Bundles are different - even IF some games from previous bundle come next time they are always more expensive than the previous time (as "bonuses", "beat-the-average" games). Surely you can also get them... if you have enough money for that, but it is not the same. :) Just ranting.

Nope need more indie games to fill up my Steam list so I can show off to all the other kids around town how many video games I own.

Right, I think that this is a good idea to do here. Here are Totalbiscuit's "Wtf Is" videos of the games he has done them for in this bundle.
Wasteland Angel
Sideway New York
Xotic
The Ball
Sadly, no WTF Is BEEP yet, but those give you a pretty good idea of what to expect from the games.

Thanks for the info and vids. Like I said, all of these games look good. If you're an action/platformer fan, that is. I have the ball and it's a criminally overlooked game. The Portal 2 levels they did last year for the arg alone is worth it.

Be Mine Indie Bundle
Came across this bundle on a spuf post. It looks damn good. 5 games, extras and pay what you want ($1 min.). Starts in 10 days and the games are:
1. Wasteland Angel
So. what do you think? I'll definitely be getting this one. I already have the ball, but the other 4 games all look pretty fun. Hell of a lot better than the new indie gala bundle.
