Samsung 840 250GB SSD w/Far Cry 3 $160@NCIX
 

Samsung 840 [ncix.com]

$159.99 w/FS thru 2/20 for those interested

w/ coupon for FC3

Does this come with the desktop installation kit? I couldn't find anything on the description of the link.

BW version is the bare drive

I can't up vote it personally. We've seen with and without desktop installation kit for $150 several times in recent history.

Ty OP!

doesnt appear to have installation kit included. 150-160 seems to be going price theses days with installation kit not sure how much the kit runs seperate. seems slick if you already have installation kit / your interested in this great game / or your trying and sell it for around 20-30 putting this ssd around 120-130

I'm new to SSDs, if I plan to put this is my old MBP (2006), do I need the installation kit? Or is the installation kit only needed for desktop installs?

It would work in MBP, but Samsung does not provide utility for Mac. You cannot even update the firmware without a Windows system. If you can first hook it up to a PC to update the firmware (the latest one is F07 from December and the current batch is shipped with F06), it would be fine for you MBP. The new firmware improves performance after prolonged use when files are fragmented.

$150 for a kit is the right price. Anything above is not slick

Thanks for the info, and I have an old Windows laptop I could use, so that should be fine. I'll probably wait til another deal with the kit for $150 comes around

Unless you want to permanently install it in a desktop, you don't really need the kit.

$150 with the kit was the lowest price. $150 without the kit is still a slick deal and it came up a handful of times lately. I have not seen either one go below that price except with rewards, cash backs, or other coupon considered. I got mine for $120 using 20% off Amazon GC. :D

250GB Samsung 840 Series 2.5" SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive SSD (MZ-7TD250BW) + Fry Cry 3 (PC Digital Game Coupon) $160 + FS!
 

niiice deal :woot:

Linky [ncix.com]

Not seeing w/ full kit.

Not seeing the kit either. How much does a kit cost?

Verifying, will report back after research :)

Model ending with BW does not include kit. KW is the kit version

Considering that you can sell that game coupon for ~$30 on eBay, this is a pretty good deal. Especially if you don't need the desktop kit. Many of the newer DIY cases have 2.5" mounts for SSDs. My CoolerMaster HAF does anyway..

so sad... i just bought Far Cry 3, weeks ago at $50

Not so slick. thanks

Yeah never pay full price for PC games can always get them 50% off within weeks of release.

per earlier post - BW is bare drive, the kit is below:

http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=...%20Storage

not discounted, no game :wave:

the game is a Steam code or Ubiplay?

Pretty sure it's Ubiplay, since the coupon mentions AMD Promo. I bought a Radeon 7950 a couple of months ago and the Farcry 3 coupon was Ubiplay.

is it worth a spot in my gamefly q?

This OP's deal is for people interested in the Far Cry 3 game. Try looking at it the other way around and read as:

"Far Cry 3 for $50 and optional 250GB Samsung 840 for $110"

Now people not interested in Far Cry 3 can move on without TC. You should not complain if you don't want the game. :D

How is NCIX in terms of shipping times? Are we talking a couple weeks?

typical free option is UPS ground, sig req'd - for me they've usually shipped same day get confirm by early afternoon

i'm getting tired of seeing this 840 ssd as a slick deal every friggin day/week. 150 as far as i'm concerned is the expected retail price as its been for a couple of months now. Until this thing drops below 130, its not "slick"

About a day, unless the item you ordered is oos. Everything I've ordered from ncix always comes well packaged :).

its a fun game - open world do what ever you want. like gta

Total for me is $174.39 with CA tax. But Far Cry 3 is a sweet bonus. (The game is amazing BTW, for those not in the know)

Think i''ll wait for a similar deal with a no tax seller.

where do i input the coupon? can't find a line for that, please help

Coupon for FC3? You don't have input anything. It will be included with the ssd, once purchased.

Wow, the price for this 840 has been coming down steadily. I hope the pro version is far from doing that also...

it's a $30+ game... so it's not bad

but I don't see the game being added????

It looks like the free game is no longer being included. bummer. Great deal with the game though.

What does the installation kit do for this? I'm a noob.

Sent from Slickdeals App for iPhone & iPod Touch.

Hey how do you know the game is not included?

How do I know it includes the game?

It showed the special offer in a BONUS field between "Our price" and "availability" fields. It still shows up briefly for me when I load the page, but promptly disappears so it looks like they hastily removed the offer. I guess I'll just wait for the $150 deal again. Too bad because I think $160 with Frycry 3 (worth ~ $30) is better.

Not to mention the cruddy TLC NAND.

Another lukewarm deal. $140 and we'll talk.

Ordered when free game was in cart, but did not receive anything in the box. Anyone else?

I did not receive my Far Cry 3 code either. I called NCIX on Tuesday and the rep told me it would be emailed to me within 5 business days. I will call back tomorrow if I don't receive an email.

Yeah, they're really dropping the ball on this one. Emailed customer service twice with zero response. Then emailed an employee directly (had his email from a previous issue). Responded saying their "team" is trying to figure out a resolution and they are compiling a list of affected customers. I requested he just send me a prepaid return label for the drive. Will update once I hear back.

Same issue here. I was told that 5-7 business days after DELIVERY the email will be sent out. That still leaves a day or two I think for me. That seems excessive and this is the second time in as many weeks I've had difficulty with NCIX.
