I think so, even if you don't like the games, great christmas presents or sell them on ebay!

Reviews on that video card is iffy.

yeah I saw that, some say it gets a bit warm, but the majority love the card and I checked the xfx website and this card has a lifetime warranty. if it dies, swap it out

These are game coupons, not actual games. You can only sell them for $5-$10 on ebay.

right, but they are for the FULL game, and people are willing to fork over a little bit of cash for a few of them, given that the code works

Yes, Mr. ALL CAPS. I am talking about full games:

Worth about $5-10

the call of duty is an actual game as well

If it was a 2gb card id pull the trigger. Not as warm as a deal as id like for a 1gb card.

I prefer this version from Amazon better. $215 no tax (I guess video card deals on newegg gets killed by tax since I am in CA). No games though but those three games only sell for $5-10, not to mention that ebay charges you a lot of bullcrap fees.

I got them last week and its running super quiet and cool. 30-40c idle and 58-65c load on a micro atx case with terrible airflow.

Newegg is full of self-branded "Techwiz"

just look at how many of them give themselves a 5 in "Tech Level" but their review is like
"Pros: i bought it just so i would be able to play battlefield three. i was not expecting on being able to run it on high setting but i was shocked to learn that not only did it run smooth on 1 180p monitor but it did well on 2 1080p monitors with eyefinity.
Cons: it makes my room all hot and i live in California so that might be a problem in the summer.
Other Thoughts: just a heads up make sure you run the ac because this car runs hot."
or
"Cons: Second card did not work at full clock speed
XFX did not honor mail in rebate
Cards run very hot"

Tech Level 5 would never leave a review without specific bench or temp...
so I'd never trust these idiots
I wonder what's their idea of Hot is...

I had a XFX GPU once and that thing died within several months.

The monetary values of all the games are over exaggerated and all the games are also pretty old. Not to mention that Dirt 3 sucked, all that Gymkhana crap made my blood boil.
