AMD reloaded promotion is pretty false

[malicht]

You dramatic title "AMD reloaded promotion is pretty false" is very misleading.

You will get your Key's just as everyone else will for as long as the promotion is running.

I updated my post to state that I got an e-mail saying they are no longer giving out Crysis 3 keys.

I also put in my post a link to a forum thread which shows they know there is an issue.

I tried to make my thread title as neutral as possible. If I wanted it to be dramatic I would have put "****ING OCUK AND RADEON ARE LYING ****ING ****S".

By the way false means wrong. I don't understand why someone has an issue with this?

What do you mean they are no longer giving out Crysis 3 Key's, is it your understanding that you will not be getting Crysis 3?

The only e-mail I have had back was an e-mail saying they were no longer distributing Crysis 3 game keys. But I have to stress that I have recently found information in that forum thread to suggest that this isn't the case.

It's also in the small print that they will only send out the game codes for as long as they have stock of them. So I guess I, and others, are too late for the offer. Just hope I still get the other games listed on the offer.

Just strikes me as weird cos it is still advertised.

I know what false means! , but your usage of the word is still meaningless.

From:

AMD reloaded promotion is pretty false

To:

AMD reloaded promotion is pretty wrong

Still makes no sense.

AMD reloaded promotion hits bump in the road, spews incorrect keys all over the superhighway.

Is more factually correct and is also slightly humorous, whereas your post of

if you had planned on buying a graphics card, and thought the promotion of free games was a good offer with the high end Radeon GPU's, you may as well not bother.

is not factual, it is just scaremongering.

So on one hand you post up a link that clearly says this from the AMD REP:

Specific to Crysis 3:
We have provided a sample of "invalid" codes to EA, and they were able to confirm the codes were good. Therefore, customers are asked to contact EA directly. In review of topic threads on EA's various forums, customers that call EA's support line are receiving direct attention and service.

AMD will work on a case-by-case basis with each individual that has experienced this issue. Please e-mail [email protected] to resolve the issue. For Crysis 3 specifically, if you are confident the cause is not related to the region issue explained above, then contact EA directly.

And in the other hand your saying you have some email that states otherwise?

Sounds like they just had a technical hitch or a batch of codes wasn't activated on EA's servers yet.

Someone has their wires crossed and I doubt its AMD/OcUK/Every other retailer

I think you have misunderstood the Email, or you didn't read all of it.

What exactly does it say and from who exactly is it?

"We are no longer giving out Crysis 3 Key's" there is probably more to it, they are perhaps no longer using an automated system and are sending them out by other means.

If you have the bundle, with Crysis 3 on your receipt, they cannot refuse it.

Did you contact [email protected] ?

I don't think you can discuss this.

False means wrong.

The promotion is wrong.

AMD promotion is pretty false.

AMD promotion is pretty wrong.

Wrong means incorrect.

The fact that you have understood the concept the title of the thread alludes to, means that it is in fact meaningful, and not meaningless. By putting "pretty" false in there, it suggests that the whole thing isn't entirely false. Just some of it.

Some times things can be false. Sometimes they can be true. Sometimes they can even be "pretty false".

Many philosophical statements can be said to be false. Or true. Whilst the promotion is hardly philosophical. It too can be false.

is not factual, it is just scaremongering.

Listen, I didn't come here to argue about something, or to scare anyone. I think I've levelled with people. I've laid out as much info as I have attained so far.

I am not in any way trying to be confrontational, I don't want anyone to try and look for a fight when there just isn't one.

The e-mail said something along the lines of:

It is to my understanding that the crysis 3 promotion is no longer valid, and we are unable to provide any more keys for this game.

I'll put up a screen shot later when I get in. It was pretty brief.

I am hoping its all just a misunderstanding. Like I say, soon as I learn anything else I will let you know!

The last AMD gpu I bought came with a load of codes, in fact I got 2 lots of them. AMD offer awesome deals atm, don't wanna say the op is trolling but...

You haven't though, you're still yet to show us all this email saying Crysis 3 codes are all worthless?

 

[malicht]

I've had dirt3 from them in the past via a promotion, so I've had stuff too. I don't know what purpose it would serve by trolling. Isn't it just possible that they ran out of keys?

I'm just letting folks know.

Jeez.

Hi I have received codes today for Sleeping Dogs, Hitman Absolution, Far Cry 3 and Crysis 3. They have all worked perfectly. I am downloading Hitman now from Steam.

I've also contradicted this information intentionally by sharing the link to the forum thread where an AMD representative has said they are aware of the issue.

I'm not stating things to just scare folk, I'm presenting as much of a balanced view as I can.

 

[pgi947]

So we now all agree its a misunderstanding as the statement from the AMD rep in the link in your OP has cleared up matters?

If so lets just move on...

Excellent, then it seems it was a hitch as the forum thread suggests, and hopefully we will all get the games offered to us.

If it turns out I was one of the unlucky ones who just missed the deal I'll let folks know, but hopefully I'm not!

still waiting on my crysis code

One of the good things about OcUK is that you can't help but trip over a heated debate somewhere, so if people start questioning what you are saying or putting other opinions forward it isn't an attack on you or anything like that, we just love to get stuck in, especially in the Graphics forums where fanboyism can really take things to the next level.

It is my opinion that your thread title was poorly worded and you threw some emotive stuff in there, your opinion is that you came here to make people aware of the ongoing problems with the promotion.

All is fair in love and war, that is until someone beats your Unigine score.

Can you let me know if you get one in this thread too?

When did you buy your card? (input the codes).

 

[pgi947]

Make sure to check your spam boxes etc... too, I thought I didn't receive a far cry code but it was directed to a junk folder.

Now we are getting serious.

Haha, well, maybe I've just been too much of the old studying recently!

If you don't like my title I can live with that

I really don't mean to offend anyone, I enjoy AMD as much as NVIDIA and love these forums. Don't post often as I am out of my depth a lot!

Just surprised at the level of suspicion. Genuinely just wanted to share an issue with the offer that OC has got on.

Funny thing is, I wasn't that emotive at all when writing the initial post. I didn't feel it anyway. Just wacking down what I knew at the time. It took later posts for me to get a bit miffed!

Anyway, no hard feelings on my part. Nothing to gain from being stubborn. If I get my codes I'll be the first to say its all okay, and be very happy to do so!
