To think we've came from green fans whining about signs of desperation when AMD had their awesome bundles, to NV offering what looks to be a great bundle too! At least that argument will finally be outdated and dropped.

Competition is great!

Now the only problem is the absurd NV premiums. Drop the prices already.

I don't understand the monetary values under the bundle? Do they have them mixed up?

How it that a holiday bundle when it ends 11.26.13? Aren't holidays in December?

That's just the shield discount promo. Which i'm sure no one here cares about.....

Man, nvidia must be in trouble having to pay all that money to give away those games just to sell hardware! /sarcasm off

These are great bundles. Batman will be awesome and I liked Blacklist. AC4 I am so/so on, the last one was crap imo. Still will probably pick up a cheap AC4 code from the forums (best part of these bundles imo, getting the games cheap from people selling codes.)

Look at those $100/$50 Shield discounts. Knew that puppy wouldn't be popular. Guess they are trying to get them to move. Might be able to flip the discount code on the forums to one of the 3 people interested in getting a Shield.

So rather than drop prices on their gpu's, looks like they are going to try to increase the 'value' by adding in more free games.

Not sure that will work. Those are some good games to get though...especially since they are new titles.

Bundles looks nice... better than AMD's. Maybe I'll return my 7950 that arrived yesterday if NV cuts the price of the 760...

Exactly, PC games drop in price so fast that I would never pay full price for them anyway.

It doesn't list whether or not the bundles come with the GTX 785.. =)

In retail sales, you always have the 'regular' price in which you try to sell a product...then you have the 'real' price that goes on via sales in which you actually plan on moving product to make most revenue.

It's all about creating 'perceived' value. You use one to work in leverage for the other.

If you can get someone to buy an expensive product and walk away thinking....'Hey..I just got a great deal!'...then you've done your job.

Maybe it means GTX770 is dropping to 199 and Titan to 649?

Doesn't matter though because your going SLI per your [H] post

Yeah, it's an awesome bundle, but when you pay an absurd 33%+ more for the same performance (770 vs 280x it doesn't alleviate that pain. They should be dropping the prices, then the bundle can be a factor but right now you basically pay full 280x price plus most of the games retail price.

I definitely want Batman but I've enjoyed playing it on 360 thus far. Not sure I want the PC version. Not interested in the other 2 titles myself.

Overall great bundle though. These are some great titles, even though not what I'd jump on.

These video cards coming with some awesome titles and I'm glad they do this. While it won't force me to upgrade early, it will definitely help sway me when the time does come.

The games don't come with a 760 if you care.

And in the case of Shield it's just trying to create some.. no, any value..

Lol...maybe so

Watch Dogs is being pushed 2 quarters just in case someone was looking for it to be bundled.

Yeah Batman doesn't which is my main desire... it does state the "760 will receive free downloadable copies of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Splinter Cell Blacklist", which aren't bad however.

AMD may also add new games to the list, since their bundle is seriously weak in comparison.

Yes they do. It's the first one listed. You get SCBL and AC4...just not Batman.

Ah, read that too fast. Thanks.

chimaxi83 · Oct 17, 2013

Wow, that's a great bundle. None of the games will compare to BF4 in sales, but still, those are some good games.

I'd say something sarcastic too, pots/kettles/hypocrisy/look who's offering great bundles now, but nah :sneaky:

VulgarDisplay · Oct 17, 2013

I still cannot make any sense of the monetary values they have under the cards. If they were reversed it would make a little more sense, but not much. Is it a typo?
