I just tried it and you can't get the 3 free games and use the $20 off code. :(

ETA: But Newegg has a PowerColor 7970 for $280 after MIR with the 3 games.

Yeah, it didn't work for me either. I guess the VME10BTS code is no longer valid.

Not a bad price on that 7970. Little worrisome about some of the bad reviews.

I wold roll with the 7950 or 760 then. Either will last a while depending on what she is playing and at what resolution.

XFX Double D Black Edition is on sale for $199 after $30 rebate. You get 3 free games as well.

Pondering between the HD 7950 and EVGA 760 for my girlfriend's computer.


Just picked that up, awesome deal. Will try and get $100 out of my 6870 it's replacing. Will sell the free 3 games for $20/piece probably. So hopefully my upgrade from 6870 to 7950 is only $40

Probably looking around $80 each, and probably $10/game since they're keys. Still not a bad upgrade!

That's one good thing about the video card game bundles. Even if you don't need a new card, you can get the bundle games really cheap from someone who didn't need the codes. I ended up giving away some of my Never Settle keys because I was too lazy to try to sell them.

Awesome! I jumped on the Double D as well. Overkill for my gf as she mostly plays indie games.

The nice thing about those keys is that you don't have to redeem right them right away. I think you have till the end of the year. I would hang on to them just to see what new games are added to the gold bundle since there are a lot of good games coming out in the fall.

Amazon is having a gaming sale. Not as good as Steam but there are some good deals if you missed the Steam summer sale.

I contributed to those, although the second card I got hasn't had any issues.

I think I might join, but I'm not 100% certain I'll be around for the draft.

awesome. 1 more for 12, or 3 more for 14 and we split the league into two divisions.
im thinking Xboner sucks and PS4? more like PoS4
