I'm not sure if this qualifies as a great bargain, but it's a discount :) Shrapnel Games are offering (via a god-awful interface) 12% off all digital-distribution games. I mention it because they publish Digital Eel's Weird Worlds and Brainpipe, both of which I like.
At present, the downloadable purchases for these two games are available on these pages:

This is probably the very opposite of a bargain to most, but some might find it to their liking on account of rarity.
Seller: Spartan Software @ Amazon.co.uk
Item: System Shock 2 - new, sealed reprint under "Black Diamond Game Series"
Price: £36.99
Link - the one listed as New, from Spartan Software.
Comments - I just got my delivery, and I'm very happy with Spartan. The Black Diamond repackaging of System Shock 2 consists of a DVD case with two CDs, identical in content save for the second also having the manual in .pdf form. No hard copy of the manual. At the time I'm posting this, they have one copy left in stock. Pictures of what I got.
Disclaimer - As I said, I'm extremely happy with Spartan Software's service, but it's still Amazon; should you for any reason not be satisfied, it's between you and them.

Indie developer Pi Eye Games is currently selling their games at half-price, plus you get an extra 25% discount on that if you buy more than one, which brings 'em down to $7.50 each.
I've played this guy's demos before, and always found them fun and extremely polished technically, but just not varied enough in gameplay to warrant a $20 price tag. They're definitely worth a look at this price, though.
ArkLight in particular is a neat cross between Arkanoid and a vertically-scrolling shooter, that I found quite addictive.
