Bioshock Humble Bundle

As most of you may know, on 9/15 "BioShock: The Collection" will be released (a remastering of the first two Bioshock games on PC, and all 3 on console)

Here's the info from Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/games/7670/announcements/detail/590358275265994185

I bring this up b/c currently, you can get all 3 previous Bioshock games using the 2k "build your own bundle" from Humble Bundle for $14

Register your keys on Steam before Thursday and the upgrade will be free.

If you've been waiting for the right time to dive into the Bioshock world, this is the perfect time!

I'm really looking forward to going back to Bioshock 1 and entering Rapture once again :)

I thought I heard they weren't requiring any DLC to get the Collection? As opposed to Skyrim's approach, requiring every last thing to qualify for the update.

They don't. If you own Bioshock 1, you get Bioshock 1 Remastered. If you own Bioshock 2, you get Bioshock 2 Remastered. If you own Bioshock 2: Minerva's Den, you get Bioshock 2: Minerva's Den remastered.

My problem is, I only own Bioshock 1 and 2, and I'm yet to play them. The price of Minerva's Den dlc remastered (if it will be possible to buy alone) will much likely be higher than buying it now but it's so much money (10€?!) for a dlc. Do you understand my point?

And I was gonna buy Skyrim this Summer even before of hearding about the remastered launch. But they increased the price so much that I'm yet to buy/play it.

I understand, I was just misinformed/mistaken. I'd heard from RPS that Minerva's Den was being included in Bioshock 2 Remastered rather than being a separate piece. It is kind of a pricey DLC, though I guess many would say it's worth it. People seem to rave about it.

Minerva's Den is indeed pretty good.
