You mean you'd go for a significantly worse deal for minor differences?

Whatever makes you happy I suppose.

I would rather have the 7970 with the Games.

I've seen the msi frozr and asus dcu2 7970 for under £210.

Its more of the case of showing our ridiculous pricing compared to the US.

Tempted to sell my 7950 and buy a R9-280X, but I'm going to wait for a couple of months, see if the prices change much.

You'd be better off buying another 7950 for Crossfire and selling the bundle. You can get decent voltage unlocked cards for £180. By the time you've sold the bundle you're looking at a pretty small sum for a fair upgrade. Unless you're aiming for a 290 I really don't see the point in upgrading to the new series from a 7900 card.
