The biggest yet, in fact, by more than double the previous record of $2.37 million. Twice as nice for the same low price, or something like that.<\/p>\n<p>The promo saw 598,962 bundles sold for a grand total of $5,106,529.34, with an average purchase price of $8.53. The pay-whatever-you-want deal included Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP, Limbo, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and Psychonauts, plus soundtracks, plus Bastion, Lone Survivor, Braid, and Super Meat Boy as bonus extras for those people who paid more than the average purchase price.<\/p>\n<p>As usual, <a title=\"Linux\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/21507-Linux\">Linux<\/a> gamers paid the most for the Bundle, with an average purchase price of $12.50, with Mac and <a title=\"Windows\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/23889-Windows\">Windows<\/a> coming up in second and third place at $9.99 and $7.97 respectively.<\/p>\n<p>A bidding war between the Humble Brony Bundle initiative and <a title=\"Minecraft\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/20004-Minecraft\">Minecraft<\/a> creator <a title=\"Markus &quot;Notch&quot; Persson\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/23928-Markus-\u201cNotch\u201d-Persson\">Markus &#8220;Notch&#8221; Persson<\/a> saw the two contributing final amounts of $13,167.84 and $12,345.67.
