We're proud to celebrate this occasion by presenting a truly astounding bundle deal, offering up the Full Game (normally priced at $14.99), plus the Fat Roles DLC (originally $4.99), plus cakeloads of Fat Princess avatars for your PSN ID, and finally a brand-spanking NEW Dynamic Theme (valued at $2.99) all for the low, low price of $14.99, the price of the full game itself.

Grab it fast, since the Anniversary Bundle is available for a limited two-week time only, and the sale ends on August 9th.

Happy 2nd Birthday to Princess Plump and Princess Muffintop from the entire Fat Princess team!
