after buying iris 2 for 8 bucks and surprised by the amount of experimentation it is capable of i am thinking of collecting all these synths ... just for the lols and and my new love for experimental music(like Ryoji Ikeda) and old love of dark syhtwave.
conditions :
can be limited versions- having limitation of 4 voices instead of 32 or something like that
around 10 bucks
must be 64-bit(wish i could avoid this condition but cant)
can be seasonal price-like black friday or cyber monday

Hybrid 3 goes on sale once in a while as low as $1.
Babylon (haven't used it myself) is $13.80 at the moment.

You can pick up cheap unregistered synths in the KVR market often. Anywhere from $10-$20 for Padshop Pro and Retrologue. (IBBoth are soft license now?) But if you like Iris, PSP2 is a definite must.
[AnalogLab Lite can be had around those same prices that will give about 500 presets from multiple synths, although they've increased their upgrade price to the full AL4 now.]
Sign up an account at AAS and download Swatches for some great free sounds. But be wary of the price gouging some are trying to sell the actual Sessions plugins and soundsets right now. The Session plugins shouldn't run you more than $10 for all 3 IMO. The last ones I had I even gave away.
For their soundsets I wouldn't pay more than $1-3 currently.

+1 for Computer Music magazine. Often overlooked, but there are some absolute gems for the price of one issue of the mag
u-he Bazille CM & Zebra CM, Cableguys Curve 2 CM, Dune CM are amazing...fantastic synths in their own right. More capable than many 'paid' synths. Loads more in there too - a no brainer if ever there was one

Agreeing with everyone else here. Want to add Lynx - seriously overlooked, free, and with over a thousand presets. Also the stuff by 2getheraudio - everything is ten bucks I think. Personally I like their G8tor synth.
