Fairly decent bundle, too bad Shield isn't out in the UK yet, the discount would be a nice plus (could even push me to try one).
 
Is this what Nvidia are doing instead of cutting the prices?

With the R9 280X being equal in performance to the GTX 770 and £80 cheaper, it needs to come down.

The £500+ price on the 780 and £850+ price on the Titan also need to come down once the R9 290/X gets here.

This is what you call NVIDIA's half assed attempt to compete with AMD. They now have their own "never settle bundle" of games. However, like mentioned before prices of the cards are still way too high.

However, on their defence the current R9 270-280x does not come with games at this moment in time. So it does offset it a little, but yeah prices down down nvidia.
 
Great another equation thrown into the mix - I would probably buy these games at some point - Personally I think they are good choices to me most gamers do not have these because two of them are not out yet.

Nvidia won't put prices down until they need to. For the top end cards like Titan and 780 that won't happen till the 290x is out. Even then if performance is on par with the former two, they won't bother unless the 290x is massively under £500.

^ couldn't agree more. Nvidia really need to drop prices not give away free games that most gamers have by now.

Why do they need to drop prices? Gibbo has already said how well they are selling....

Put it like this:

I own a shop and sell cakes (I love cakes). I sell 10 cakes at £1 each and they cost 50p to make, that is a fiver profit. A guy walks into my shop and tells me that my cakes are far too expensive and I should sell them cheaper. So I drop the price of cake to 80p each. Instead of a fiver profit, I now make £3 profit.

Probably the worst analogy ever but why would you drop the price of something that is selling and selling well?
