EA Launches Humble Bundle, Pay What You Want for Select Titles

While originally an indie attraction, over the past few years we’ve seen the hugely successful Humble Bundle branch out to the likes of publishers like Deep Silver and the now-defunct THQ. Now, yet another publisher has joined the party, and this time it’s EA. Yes, we’re just as surprised as you are.

Up for grabs are several of EA’s hit titles from the past few years — even the more recent efforts like Battlefield 3 and Dead Space 3.  Those are joined by Dead Space, Crysis 2 Maximum Edition, Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box, Medal of Honor, Mirror’s Edge, The Sims 3 Starter Pack.

The price? Pay what you want — though you’ll have to up your pledge to $5 for access to Battlefield 3 and The Sims 3. Considering the entire package, and the fact that all proceeds are going straight to charity, it’s one heck of a deal.

The Humble Bundle has always been a huge proponent of choice, and while this bundle doesn’t include any DRM-free copies, most of the titles also come with redeemable Steam keys in addition to Origin equivalents. It may not be a likely paring, but we’re certainly glad to see EA doing this for a greater cause.
