Back to high-school?
Personally shakti I don't think it's worth your time even trying to cover these in-name-only "bundles" they keep pushing out.
It's hard to draw any lines for where "bundle" begins and ends, but there's definitely a point crossed where they're just slapping the label onto something totally indistinguishable from any ordinary deal at an ordinary price point.
And anyone would go mad trying to cover all the comparable savings combos that exist out there. Or could burn out if Fanatical ramped up their trend even more and used the term for everything.
I suppose if I had to quantify some rough "rule of thumb" for separating deal from a bundle, then it's probably just a deal if it: (a) includes one game + dlc, (b) the price average is over, like, $3 per title, or (c) bundle price is on par with (or exceeds) combined cost of sales lows. This case being an example of all three, I think.
Really it's more "know it when you see it" thing anyway, and personal discretion with you making a call about what you'd wanna cover or not. I imagine the harder part is probably fighting that completionist instinct to catalog part of what they include in their bundlefest when you're already tracking the rest of it :-p
Well, that's my opinion anyhow. Just thought I'd share it in case it ends up sparing you the time/energy or if you've maybe been on the fence about covering these sort of "bundles" or tempted to just link them in the bundlefest thread instead. I very much appreciate all your efforts to keep things charted and find it monumentally helpful, so thanks as always with whatever you do.

You managed to write down my thoughts better than I would have ever been able to do it...
In general I am opposed to making threads for the so called "bundles" that are in fact just deals. In my opinion, only bundles / deals with a discount above 90% or more (ok, we can sometimes lower this restriction to 80%) warrant a thread, even though it did happen in the past that people were interested in deals that had even lower discounts than these.
But as you correctly noticed, my completion compulsion makes me want to cover all the bundles / deals during a BundleFest / Bundle Blast event, especially since I know that if they ended up once in such an event, then it's highly likely that they will re-appear in future events too; opening these threads now will make my work a bit easier in the future because then I will only need to update the thread. Plus it gives us a way to track the prices / additions / removals and to share opinions / discuss about it. In some ways, I find these more useful than DIG bundles for example, at least they're not full of asset flips. π
But like you said, covering as much as possible from such an event is by now quite a stretch in my already limited free time; on top of that I do some of these during work time too (please don't tell my boss), which means that I have to catch up with work the next day or so. I am aware that I won't be able to cover "everything" and that I need to overcome the cringe feeling that the empty [SG]()
gives me whenever I look at the bundlefest thread. Maybe all I need is a confirmation that sometimes it's ok to leave those empty, so thank YOU for giving me that and for supporting me.

Overpriced. Especially since the DLC packs don't add any real content. One for swimsuits, one for items, one for exp.
