I've been on the verge of ordering parts for a new build for the past 2 weeks, and have been shuffling things in and out of my wish list during that time. The cornerstone of my entire build has been the E6600, so it stayed consistently, never needing another eye at it's product page.
Finally, yesterday, I put down $1k for parts, and was pretty pleased at what I could squeeze into my budget. Now that I'm finally done, I'm still finding myself going back to look at parts again (it's somewhat fun, sadly). I decided to read some user reviews on the E6600, and to my surprise, they were offering the new Ghost Recon game free of charge as a combo deal with this CPU!! Bastards! I hadn't seen it, because I just moved my wishlist over to the cart and checked out once I had made the final decision.
I own the game on the 360, and absolutely loved it, and have been wanting to go through the PC version for a different experience to the game, but I just didn't want to put the money towards it. So I got in a live chat with a Newegg CSR, and asked if there was anything he could do, or if I was out of luck. He promptly created a new order for the game, and is shipping it FedEx Saver for free!
I'm stoked right now, as I'm looking forward to this new build more than any other in the past. In case people are wondering, the parts I have coming in: E6600, P5B Deluxe, Seasonic M12 600w, Corsair XMS2 2GB PC2-6400 DDR2 C4, Zalman 9500 HSF, and a Samsung DL Lightscribe burner (to upgrade my aging NEC 2500a).
Just wanted to share my good experience!
