The following was just posted by a moderator on the Big Fish Games forum: As some of you may have already heard in Mudrock’s weekly post, we are rolling out a new game category. After reviewing the feedback from many of our users asking for other ways to spend their Game Club credits as well as the request for alternatives to purchasing Collector’s Editions or standard version games , we would like to introduce “Deluxe” games.
What does this mean? I am glad you asked! Our Deluxe games will allow customers to purchase quality games with integrated Strategy Guides at a low price. How low you ask? Deluxe games will be released with the introductory price of $9.99/ ($6.99 Game Club price), the same cost as standard version games! (We have no estimated time frame for the expiration of the introductory rate, nor do we have a price point available for after the rate expires at this time. I will keep you updated when more information becomes available however.)
Here is a review of our current game offerings:
Collector’s Edition: $19.99 / $13.99 Game Club price Allows for early access Provides an integrated Strategy Guide Additional content (potential extra content can include: wallpapers, additional game play, soundtracks, concept art) Game Club members will earn 3 punches on punch cards
Deluxe Games: $9.99 / $6.99 Game Club Price Saturday’s TGT for Game Club members (New Release for everyone on Sunday) Provides an integrated Strategy Guide Deluxe games will not be released as standard versions later Game Club members will earn 1 punch on punch cards
Standard version: $9.99 / $6.99 Game Club price Game Club members will earn 1 punch on punch cards
Of course we also offer Strategy Guides as well!
I hope this helps clear things up. We will be listening for your feedback so let us know what you think! According to Mudrock, the first Deluxe game will be released this coming weekend and is supposed to be Midnight Mysteries: Haunted Houdini.

Hi, Marian!
It's nice to see that BFG is offering its members so many choices. It's also nice to see that the deluxe games are the same price as the standard games; however, walkthrus are usually available online so the Strategy Guide isn't really necessary.
Thanks for the heads-up on this weekend's new release. I've been saving my last punch card credit and I love the "Midnight Mysteries" series.

For me, an integrated Stragedy Guide is great!!! I hate getting out of a game to peek at a walkthrough. Teddo

Hi, Marian!
I'll wait to see what you find out because I assumed, since the deluxe games are the same price as the standard games, we could use a punch card coupon.

More info just posted by a Big Fish moderator: Yes, currently you can use Game Club Credits and Punch Card Credits to purchase Deluxe games.
We will continue to release 2 CE's per week in addition to a Deluxe game. Deluxe Editions will be applied to all genres. It looks like you will be good to go with your punch card coupon, Susan.

I think this is a great idea! I love the intergrated strategy guides, and don't use the wallpapers etc..If I can't live without the bonus game, then I will still purchase the CE.

I really got confused over at BF forum on this topic. My understanding is that the deluxe games will be $6.99 just like the SE games. People in the BF forum are saying the price for a deluxe game is raised. What is you guys understanding of this? Kim
