15,504 ways to play!

Decisions, decisions, decisions. Once the holiday season gets closer, you have to decide what gifts to buy, what wrapping to use, which phone numbers to accidentally delete. There are many decisions to make as you get ready for the holidays, but one decision that we’re making easy for you is, “Should I buy anything from GOG.com’s Black Friday sale?” (The answer is “yes”, by the way. ;) Not only are we launching the sale early--in case you spend Friday in a turkey-induced coma--but we’re also giving you the power to pick your own promo!

In our Pick 5 & Pay $10 sale you pick 5 out of twenty fantastic indie games and pay $10 for them regardless of the game’s regular full price. That's $2 per game, for such titles like Torchlight, Resonance, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, Botanicula, Geneforge 1-5, Uplink, To the Moon, and many others. Seven of these games are both PC and Mac compatible, so everyone can enjoy!

The games are fantastic--and there are so many of them! That's why we started this sale early: to give you time to pick your dream-set of 5 games out of 15,504 possible combinations. You could look at this as another decision you have to make this year, but unlike trying to figure out who you should sit next to your slightly crazy uncle at Thanksgiving dinner, this one’s fun!

Black Friday marks the start of the “shopping season” for the holidays, so don’t forget to buy the gift of GOG for a gamer you love--or even just kind of like. You can’t spread much more holiday joy than this for just $10.

Raze_Larian: There were 20 games total to pick from. Since the order of the games does not matter, the number of combinations of x items from a set of N is

N! / [ (N-x)! x! ] = 20! / [ 15! * 5! ] = 20*19*18*17*16 / 5*4*3*2 = 15,504

This ignores the possibility of checking out before picking all 5 games.
O.K. thanks re: order... More complicated than I was thinking.

Ah yes, I was only thinking permutation instead of combination.

Thanks.
damn, missed it :(
Bought:

Gemini Rue (finished last night - it's amazing!)
To The Moon (which I've stopped playing as it made me cry too much)
Symphony (not bad, but wish it did longer files)
Uplink (haven't played yet)
Machinarium (also not started yet)

And now another sale...should I buy just the games I really want or think "£$&^ it! Take my money and give them me all!" Decisions, decisions...

I actually bought two of these for 10 of their games. At $2 a game it was great bargain. I played through a number of them already and now I'm playing Spacechem which is probably the best puzzle game I have every played in my entire life.
Bought all of them - it was able to repeate purchase how many times you want :) So what decisions?

Now that's some hardcore stuff....

In any case, this promo was brilliant, hope to see something similar in the future
