    My friend has a radeon 7750, so he can get one of those games in the (I presume) Bronze category?

    This article brings the news like it's something great but is it only me who thinks AMD are actually giving you much less now than before? Only 3 games for top tier? Well guess it was just time until this starts happening. They surely attracted a lot of gamers by giving loads of games for free to them but it must have hurt their income per card big time. Anyway one thing is nice about this news. And it's the fact that you can wait for future games.. Mhmm wonder what Nvidia is doing in the meantime..

    Vorlons on guru3d? :p

    Nv is pretty stingy when it comes to freebies and even then restrict them to select retailers :(

    I got nothing with my overpriced 780. Although they are now offering one game, I was a week too early.

    Understanding is a three-edged sword... :)

    Am just waiting for my Splinter Cell coupon from DABS. Though I'd rather something else. Well I hope that my feeling that Nvidia is gonna bring something nice in the future is right.Let's just wait. Although I don't think am gonna be upgrading my GPUs anytime soon.. :)

    "But supposedly AMD will be adding some amazing games to their lineup before Christmas so you may want to hold on until then."


    AKA BF4, maybe Watch Dogs or other stuff

    Its a shame they are ending the Never Settle bundles at the end of the year, i thought it was now a permanent thing.

    Why don't they offer the same games in each Tier? This isn't any better than the last bundle.

    i purchased another 7970 last night. it will be shipped with this bundle. I have a question i cant find answer of, may be someone can clarify...

    Will i have to choose all 3 games at once or can i select one game at a time if i want.
    for example, if I want crysis 3 next week and i can hold on to rest of the codes until battlefield 4 and lost planet 3 are added to the list?
    is that do-able?

    thanks :D

    That's pretty awesome of AMD. I wish I had this option when I bought my 7870!! I would have passed on the Bioshock Infinity in favor of something else...

    Great bundle and at the moment part of the reason why AMD are my personal preference for next GPU.

    Love the fact you can pick them yourself now, though it has made me consider not buying any new games until after i have the GPU.

    So what's going to happen with the 7990 bundle? Are those 8 games going to remain with the deal or is it canceled out in favor of this one?

    The Radeon HD 7990 is not included on these tiers but it will continue with the "8 free games" bundle for the life of the card we were told.

    According to PCPer.

    Ah, **** this ****.
    I used the code and got 3 games. Which Crysis 3 which I hate, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, that I already bought separately and Bioshock Infinite, which I still didn't get because they are out of keys.

    And now they add this promotion.
    WTF. I'm angry for real.
