You just can't please some people

You know how much the card cost here? I paid 740u$s, almost the same price as the 7990 cost in the U.S. They at least could have made the games selectable to the user, like they are going to do now. Instead they gave preselected games. And like I said. I don't like Crysis at all, FC3 BD I had it and they still didn't sent the Bioshock key (the only real game I was interested in.)

AMD don't owe you anything. You should be glad they even bundle games with their cards. If you don't like them, sell them. You're acting like a spoilt brat.

Yes, I know. I said, I was angry.... Sorry. And also, I wouldn't sell the games. I can't nor I would. I gave Crysis to a friend and FC3BD to another.

My thoughts exactly. People bitching over why their isn't any other games, or how many they get in each tier is just a joke. You are getting something for FREE!!! This has probably cost AMD a shed ton of money to promote and buy the codes themselves. Developers want you to actually own their game and buy giving away the base game for free they can then entice you to purchase their DLC if you like the game. If AMD add BF4 and Watch Dogs I will be 100% set as I am getting a second 7970 in the coming months and will just hold onto my coupon til then 🙂

BF4 is looking possible as it's might be a 9970 launch title. Watch Dog's is a TWIMTBP game though so that definitely won't be. Unless it horribly under performs or is priced like the 780 I see no reason why I won't get a 9970.

Me too waiting it out a little til reviews start to surface and waiting for AMD's official conference in the Hawaii to see what they have to say then if its priced too high THEN I shall get a second 7970 and be happy for at least two years the rate AMD's drivers are getting with crossfire. If it matches the performance of two 7970's (aka a 7990) and its priced around £350-£400 then its a no brainer (wishful thinking I know). My guess is if the 9970 performs anything like I mentioned then it will be priced around £400-£500 mark easily. But under cutting Nvidia's 780 and TITAN by as much as they possibly can could lead to some massive sales for them.

lol, yeah that is wishful thinking...would be nice though. I'm expecting around Titan performance in games, maybe a touch faster in synthetic benchmarks, but priced at £4-500 as they don't want to compete with themselves too much. There is always the possibility it will be faster than a 780 and also more expensive, it all depends on AMD's margins and the amount of money they are throwing at this Never Settles bundle, no point in massive sales of the card if the profit isn't there.

Slating AMD for giving you 3 games, which you pick yourselves from a selection, while someone else, only gives you 1 game, that you have to have, and its crap 🙁

Its Saints Row IV :-

AMD sends word this morning that they are making the first of their planned additions to their recently announced Never Settle Forever bundle program. Previously launched in August, Never Settle Forever transitioned AMD’s bundle program to a pick-your-game model where buyers were given the opportunity to pick their games from a rotating list of games, or bank their rewards for a short period of time in anticipation of later additions to the lists. Consequently given the timing of the program’s launch – right before the late summer/fall game rush – the program launched with games that were already a few months old (and older), with AMD stating that they’d be adding newer games as time went on. To that end, AMD is announcing that Saints Row IV is the first new game being added to the program. Volition’s open world crime game was released back on August 20th to good reviews (Metacritic 86/100), making this the highest profile addition to AMD’s Never Settle program in some months and at 3 weeks one of the fastest turn-arounds for a new game. As a new AAA game it comes as no surprise that Saints Row IV is being added only to AMD’s highest tier, Gold (7900 series), expanding the Gold roster to 11 games. Silver and Bronze meanwhile remain unchanged at 9 and 7 games respectively.
