Video Card Combo Not Well Thought Out

Its a ASUS bundle, yes?

Why not bundle a BF4 copy... (BF4 bundle could be definitive in Radeon cards...)
 
Hey gamestop will give you $7 for it.

To be fair though, nobody paying that insane price for a $449 card is gaming with it anyway.
 
Well, seems perfectly logical. Game on your ps3 while your pc is mining.

But seeing bitcoin/ltc took quite a hit, shouldn't this be much cheaper now?
 
please explain the logic to us


$730 290x is a extremely high price for any VGA, let alone this card, for that money you not only should receive free PS3 games but also a ps3 console! (and the card), the price would make more sense this way, and also the free ps3 game.
 
The extremely high cost of cards over the last few years has made me ill. Seriously its been like 2 years of pretty high costs, excluding the liquidation sale of some 7950's around the holidays.
 
I am still surprised AMD is not slapping the hand of retailers who are jacking the prices of the cards up. AMD is not making any more money off them, only the price gouging retailers are.

EDIT: I left out the word not :/

^ What do you mean? AMD is doing something about the price gouging? Source?

I like the best and worst comments on that card. They both focus on price, the one chews out the egg and says they will go elsewhere (66 likes, unkown dislikes). I'm surprised gouge-egg didn't try delete them.

Link?

I find it hard to believe it is that easy to separate the e-tailer from the AIB partner.
