As you may or may not be aware, a site exists called Humble Bundle, which every 1-2 weeks offers a variety of games, usually by a particular company or within a set theme, allowing people to pay whatever they deem worthy (minimum $1), with 2+ extra "unlockable" games if you pay more than whatever the average is (usually around $5-6)
When making a donation, you also get to determine how much goes to who - the developers, charity or the Humble Bundle webhosting (personally I put the majority to charity usually, with maybe a 20% cut to the studios and a 5% cut to the hosts)
In this thread I will keep the first post updated with the latest deals and roughly when a particular deal is expected to end, plus whether it is worth going for the unlockables or not.
To check them out yourself, go to http://humblebundle.com and click the "humble bundle" or "humble weekly bundle" links at the top of the page.
