Look and see how free they are.

XFX 9800GTX's

Same EXACT cards in core/mem clocks. Same manufacturer. The one on the left offers a "free" copy of Company of Heroes for $329.00. The one on the right offers the same exact card, but with a "free" copy of Call of Duty 4.

So tell me XFX. What exactly does "free" mean to you?

/annoyed.

If I missed something, please point it out. So I can apologize to XFX.
 
So it's Newegg? My point was, that there should have been zero price difference no matter what game was included. "Free" seems to be a term used very loosely here.
It's not right man. It aggravates me more than it should, I suppose. They could have at least said "Bundled CoD4 for 1/2 the retail price." Hey, that's better than appearing to be lying right? Saying it's free, but charging 20 bucks more is.... is.... What's the term I'm looking for!?!

 
Not to mention that all you get with a bundled game is the CD. Of course that's the most important part, but I still feel like it's a ripoff unless the game literally adds nothing to the price of the video card.
 
Not really, I never cared. Did you really think that when a B&M listed something as 50% off it was selling for 50% less than if you'd been there the day before to buy it? No way. Every place jacks the price up before they discount it, so they can bring you in with a big % discount ad. Hell, 8800gts sell for $230-250 now without rebates. Stores know that they can list it as 15% off $230 and sell it for $200 or they can list it as 40% off $350 and sell it for $200 and sell five times as many units. Which do you think they're gonna do?

the bundled game is "freely interpreted" by the ad copy writers

Not really... For starters, it isn't free to you, since it took time to give that advice and then of course, he had to spend time to read the advice... That cost you both, just not hard currency. Anyway, just being anal. But the truth is, nothing is really free. You pay for it somehow.
