Did you click the source link in the article that is linked from TPU?

oops, my bad.

But... just clicked it there. What am i seeing? The same GTX 480 - no clock details so why speculate about it's overclockiness?

and this...

launch a special limited edition packaging and a limited number will be incorporated into a number of media is currently being carried out in order first to be sold.

....means jack all. Except perhaps to imply there will be added incentive given away with card (such as the razer mice).

Now, if indeed it is fact that razer mice are being given away with the cards, this indicates Nvidia's massive investment in marketing this card. If it were stand alone superb, it wouldnt require quite so much *ahem* pomp and ceremony and whoring it out with other peripherals.

Or is it, Buy a Razer Deathadder and get a free GTX 470?

A lot of card manufacturers give away games and stuff, I understand a mouse doesn't fall under the same category. But I believe it's due to the vendor rather than Nvidia.

For 1 most good mice cost more than a DVD and also Mice production is way higher creating additional weight to a container or make it bigger which in turn means more wasted material and more money spent to produce the packaging when it is really not needed. Plus if the Mouse that is included with the package fails You would have to get a RMA for it which means more wasted time and money from several companies.

Fudzilla gets info quite fast mostly before anybody else. It based on speculation same with Semiacurate and The Inquirer. Nothing wrong with that because most of hte time they are right on the money an before anybody else.

Ummmm, no they aren't. There's a reason they are no longer allowed as a source in TPU's new section.

Wasn't arguing this point, just stating that Nvidia doesn't usually decide what incentives will go for with a card.
