I think it is pretty cool that AMD is doing all of this. I don't think it is cool to bash AMD for excluding the Never Settle 1st round customers (like me). AMD is giving away mass amounts of game title with the recent programs. At AMD Fan Day they recently gave away 1000 A8 5600K APU's ($100-$110 each), among other hardware. AMD has been kicking down big time for their customers. Good on AMD!

... and what about us early adopters that bought over a year ago?

How far back should they go to be fair?

All bundles for the 7xxx series. If you say you're going to reward loyalty with a series of cards, you do it, for that entire series.

What about people like me who got the 8 game bundle before the Reloaded one for buying crossfire? :(

What about people like me that got no free games and paid much more when the cards were released? :p

Yep, look at me, 3x HD7970's and not a single free game.....did I crap about it? I'm glad that AMD is giving out free games, those of you who'd had gotten the first Never Settle bundle (and excluded from this newer one) have even less cause than me to complain....yet I don't....at all. In Asia, I paid a hella price for each HD7970 I had gotten at launch......about 700-750USD each.:wtf: Anyway, I'm happy to see AMD on a roll, the marketing team has certainly done wonders, keep it up!:toast:








BTW, if anyone from AMD is reading this post......and feel compelled to reward my pro-AMD post, I can PM you my email address for some.....eh, rewards.:pimp:

Never Settle had 3 games. Far Cry 3. Hitman. Sleeping Dogs.

Reloaded had 2. Crysis 3. Bioshock 3.

With Far Cry Blood Dragon its gonna be 3, like the first bundle.

Now, stop complaining..

Well , I'm getting my 7950 Vapor x if everything goes smoothly, I would get 5 59$ games which is really valuable.
