ATI/ASUS the only ones

[Aknot]

hmmmm the ASUS box and the ATI site are the only 2 "cards" to come with the free copy? So if you buy a FIC or Giga no free game? They are not promoting it on the box shots.

Yeah, I also noticed that. I'm confused. I thought HL2 will be bundled with all 9800XT cards.

Normally different brands of the same card have different stuff in them, guess ATI just likes ASUS.

What about Saphier,

Nah man I don't think that Valve will bundle the game only for Asus.

Well Asus is a new addition to the Radeon powered graphics suppliers.

I'm sure they have a limited amount of bundles they can make. But in that case i want 50$ off the versions without it.

Also judging from the press release Asus seemed to have gone entirely over to Radeon.

is hl2 suposed to be bundled w/ the 9600xt's?

 

[Kitarist]

yes

 

[Aknot]

No one knows? A STUMPER!!!!!

I think they have to pay ATI or Valve $15 ig they want to put Half Life 2 in with the card... so some might decide not to.

I think...
