    No free games?

    AMD are currently offering Far Cry 3, Hitman, and Sleep Dogs for FREE with some graphics cards. Why aren't Scan doing this offer?

    The offers are usually run through 'participating' sellers only. In my experience stores are selected for participation in these promotions based upon volume of sales, and usually only those stores in the top 10% to 20% will be invited to be a participating store, so it is possible that Scan falls outside of the required numbers to make it as one of the top tier stores as I think it is less likely that they declined the invitation.

    This site shows which stores are currently participating.

    The Never settle bundle could potentially be offered through scan but just keep an eye out for any news from scan considering this great offer.

    Only 2 Worldwide retailers were listed a couple of days ago, so it's growing rapidly.

    Let's hope it spreads to scan soon, I'm buying my new card and I must get Far Cry 3. Been anticipating that game for a long time.

    The promo bundle isn't available in the UK yet for 7800 and 7700 series yet. The 7900 series isn't available on scan yet either but hopefully it will be, I'm really looking forward to it.

    Re: No free games?

    Theres a Gigabyte 7950 Windforce 3GB (OC to 900mhz) from dabs for £230 (also a £10 off voucher available).

    I just bought one - comes with

    Far Cry 3, Sleeping Dogs, Hitman absolution, 20% off.
    Also comes with Deus Ex, Dirt, Nexuiz

    Really happy with it I can't hear it when playing games - so different from my 470gtx.
