    Bet it's just the English versions, or something.

    This bundle will be great for marketing Metro series to the mass market as well. People who haven't been absorbed to the world of Metro yet will have a chance to try it out. Awareness is priority.

    It won't do much for NVIDIA sales tbh. AMD have totally nailed it with their offerings. Plus they are giving away FREE Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon to everyone who ever redeemed a code from their Never Settle bundle.

    If anything this means that you can pick up Metro LL for around £15-18 when people flog their codes with new graphics card purchases. But as I said people won't be rushing to buy a new GPU because of it.

    Discounted price through the coupons on auction would be nice. But I wonder if it'll affect 4A Games' revenue.

    Currently Far Cry Blood Dragon is ahead of MLL in the Steam charts. There you can see how much success this NVIDIA bundle will have. AMD catched all big games like Crysis 3 and Bioshock. Now NVIDIA have to catch what is left. Maybe they make a bigger bundle with Dead Island, MLL and Company of Heroes 2. This are the only big releases until fall.

    It's less good for nvidia but epic for 4a and deep silver! They get tons of extra sales (people already buy tons of nvidia cards!)

    I don't know if that really helps appeal to the mass market. PC gaming isn't the largest market to start with (though I wish it was), and the humble bundle with metro was a way better promotion than this could ever be.

    But this REALLY helps with it crossing. People didn't buy the humble bundle due to metro but they will buy the nvidia cards for well the nivida cards. And when they see metro is perfect too benchmark it guess what happens?

    Great move from Nvidia and 4A Games.

    Metro 2033 was already part of Nvidia's "The Way It's Meant to Be Played" so that's not surprising in the least but still appreciated.

    Damn it! When I bought my card it only came with a $50 code for Planetside 2, one for World of Tanks and one for Hawken. I've been trying to trade/sell off the WOT and Hawken one but with no luck.

    This is freaking perfect for me because I was planning on upgrading to a GTX 680 in early May mainly for Last Light.

    Don't. I bought a 670 from gigabyte that's stock overclocked to 4gb of video ram and everyone is saying that it's better to get that than a 680 or 690. The money you save you can buy a smaller graphics card and SLI them and you've got a better PC for a cheaper price.

    Hmm. I was planning on getting the Gigabyte 680 4gb and the impression I got is it's a bit better. The SLI option isn't good for me, due to the lack of room in my case. I'll give the 670 a closer look, though. Thanks.

    Well a lot of my PC is gigabyte and the product is good but ill have to check in on the customer service. Also yea the 670 overclock is very good. I'm running everygame on Max and no framerate drop.

    card must be epic :). Just the company isn't the best. Maybe try Asus or Evga before gig. A bit more but if you get a problem then you won't have to wait for like 2 weeks before it gets fixed.

    Well, as long as they are known for good quality products then then there's naught to worry about when it comes to customer service - because that means you shouldn't have to use it anyway. :lol:
