nVidia Free 2 Play Bundle - $75 or $150 of in-game currency for select games with purchase of GTX 650 or higher GPU

Repost

Quote from Solis : I think you mean "fake games", since you're not getting any physical product with the free game bundles either.

You could argue "digital games" but "fake games" implies that they are not genuine products.

Quote from kevinh : whoa those are some trash games.

:d:d:d

PlanetSide2 is a great game, and is very demanding on GPU's. While the game is free, it pays to use StationCash(real money) to purchase weapons, as it will take you entirely too long to unlock the weapon and attachments. I can say that I have seen SOE put more effort into making this game enjoyable than Dice/EA has put into BF3...

Also, saying that F2P games are not real games is ludicrous. Yes, you don't pay for the game upfront, but you end up with a game that is going to have a longer lifespan/support due to people feeling that they can justify the game over time by making ingame purchases. The F2P model can instill a much longer lifecycle, as well as attract gamers that may not normally play the game if there were an upfront cost.

Quote from hillean : How long is this anticipated to be going on? I expect a nice check mid-March to build a new PC. Should I order the card NOW and just sit on it for a month, or wait until I can build my entire PC and order it?

Wait, last thing you want is to realize you have a card that's DOA and sat there for a month. You want to be able to test the parts that comes in, so you can make returns/exchanges as quickly as you can.

In game currency??!?@#!@???

That is about the lamest crap I have ever heard in my life, and I'm over 40 years old.

Any company pulling that sh!t should go out of business or worse, it's BS.

I could rage for 10 pages that upsets me so much!! But I won't intrude on your thread any further.

It would be cool if you got to *pick* which game you got the currency for... but $25 in 3 games or $50 in 3 games is pretty lame.

Planetside 2 is awesome, BTW, and I'd recommend that anyone who enjoys multiplayer FPS games (especially fans of Unreal-style shooters) check it out.

Would anyone want to trade their WoT credit for either PS2/Hawken? Im getting a gt 650 for a friend a gt680 for myself... so Ill have 75 for each

I got my 660ti yesterday from Amazon. I'm hoping I get my code soon. I know the promo page says 7-10 days but I'm hoping it'll be sooner than that.

I got my codes today. So that's 4 days from shipment.

Terrific deal. The f2p ignorance expressed in this thread is lamentable. Hawken and PS2 are some of the best looking and playing games on the PC.

I would argue against ftp games, but I spent $30 on Tribes Ascend to buy stuff and don't regret it one bit.

I see a lot of people mention their codes got shipped to them... mine came in the box that was shipped to me with my graphics card and other parts.

Also, I'm willing to trade WoT or Hawken codes for Planetside 2

If anyone has extra WoT codes they're not using, I'll slide you $15 for them over PayPal if you PM me.

That's $15 for the higher code, not the lower one.

Having pay-to-cheat (like all the Zygna games) in games ruins them. I'd rather have a steaming pile of vomit on my floor to clean up than a trash pay-to-cheat game on my hard drive.

So... If it's "FTP" but you pay to "unlock" the rest of the game that's not so bad. But if you PAY to buy "stuff" in the game that makes you more powerful (pay to cheat), the people that make those games should be given the death penalty and thrown in a trash pile to rot. And I don't even think murderers should face the death penalty (it has been proven to be worse than ineffective in the research I've studied).
