They should add Warframe goodies to the F2P bundle. But even then, the amd bundles are still ahead in terms of value.
I remember my first gpu, nvidia 5700 ultra. It came with two cd wallets full of games and extras , one of which was TES morrowind (game of the year edt). I miss the days when there was value added to a product. No more toys in your cereal box either, just a quiz on the outside.

Actually many people thought it was quite a poor showing compared to AMD’s current Never Settle: Reloaded promotional campaign, which bundles up to six free complete games.
You've got that right about it being a poor showing when compared to the equivalent offer from AMD. I bought an XFX 7970 DD/Black from Aria last month and got codes for:- Bioshock Infinite
- Crysis 3
- Sleeping Dogs (which unfortunately I'd already bought)
- Hitman: Absolution
- Far Cry 3
- Medal of Honor: Warfighter
- Nexuiz
and if this is to believed then I can also look forward to a code for Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon popping into my inbox next month. :D
No doubt some will say that the equivalent Geforce might be technically better (that last picture in the article looks pretty cool), but for value-for-money I'm pretty happy defecting to the "red team" on this occasion.

Well that really puts the nail into the coffin of the 650 Boost.
An extra £5 gets you 192 more cores, double the free2play voucher and Metro: Last Light.

Just remember a lot of the free to play stuff given with the Nvidia doesn't apply to Europe, so instead in the likes of PlanetSide 2 - European players didn't get SC (station Cash) but rubbish camo's in game, for one character :/ a load of jip if you ask me.
AMD making their graphics card upgrades very much value for money with these bundles, even if I detest their flaky software/drivers.

I'd just like to point out my laptop has a dual ATI gpu setup. A (relatively) high powered core is used when gaming and a low powered one when browsing and such. It's ****ing awful and causes no end of problems. Not to mention the EPIC heat even from the low powered chip.
