Does every 290 come with the Space Edition bundle?

[digitaldurandal]

I notice on newegg that some do not show the gift and previously during the previous MSI deal the gift "ran out" and I could only get 1 of the Space bundles and not 2.

So there is a deal on newegg right now for 259.99 - 30 rebate for the MSI 290 gaming. I just ordered two before realizing it doesn't show the gift. I am thinking of canceling it as the value is not as good without the bundles. At the same time it is two 290's for 489 AR. However I would have liked Alien Isolation, two spaceships for Star Citizen, and Murdered Soul Suspect. The only other game on their list I want is on sale for 4.99 right now which is Darksiders 2.

Looking on the AMD website it says check to see with the retailer if the product is eligible for promotion. Does anyone have experience with this?

The MSI doesn't seem to have the gift. That's why I went with the windforce last week.

The power color and windforce models seem to have more negative reviews. I know gigabytes rma process was banned from discussion on another forum. I have gigabyte 670s but i don't want to gamble and deal with rma. Id rather miss out on the bundle.

I wouldn't base your decision on Newegg reviews. The powercolor has one of the best coolers on it and it is based closely off the reference design other than the cooler.

The 'banned' RMA discussion was from Tweaktown and all the brands they support are banned as well.

MSI gaming was a good choice though. I had one and it was the only model that black screened on me. The card looked of good quality though, I may have just received a bad one.

Newegg gave me a code anyways!

With regards to the powercolor cooler it should probably be noted though, that it is slightly bigger than 2 slots (about 2.5 slots), which can be problematic if one is planning to do crossfire (which it would appear that the OP is)

Appreciate the heads up. I may have been okay as I have 3 slots but would rather avoid having them closer together.

I ended up going with the MSI's Newegg was nice enough to send me one code with them anyway so I kept them.

I just bought the MSI R9 290 for $210 after $30 MIR using Visa Checkout. Sweet deal!

R9 290: $259.99-$20 (VISACHECKOUT)-$30 MIR = $209.99
