v.quick ATi HD2900 question. re: Valve offer.

Yep - just bought a Sapphire 2900XT and it came with the Valve offer as well as a free copy of 3D Mark 06 Advanced Edition and Power DVD/Director
 
doh! just went for the HIS. Can live without 3Dmark06, though it would've been a nice bonus.

Was going to go for the OcUK 1024mb version but OcUK say that doesn't come with the blackbox offer and that's what I was most interested in to push me to the purchase as I know I would've end up buying those games anyway. Plus the 512mb is 80 quid cheaper with more games.

Couldn't wait and I broke my promise of waiting until Crysis but I think Bioshock tipped me over the edge :) Plus the blackbox savings and a guy at work saying he'll buy my old X1950XT, didn't seem like a bad upgrade.

Just hope I got the order in in time for tomorrow delivery.

Thanks for the answers.
 
just the retail/steam version. the ATi voucher still stands.

edit: soz, just the retail version is scrapped, seems it will still be on steam as well as the ATi coupon.

np. just been doing a bit of googling on it as I wanted to make sure for myself as well.

I already have HL:2 and Ep1, so didn't want to pay for them again. Plus now I have Ep2 etc for free, so me's chuffed :) :cool:

Actually, what does the black box contain? Is it Ep2, TF2 and Portal?

Yep, the ATI blackbox offer comes with HL2 Ep2, Team Fortress 2 & Portal.
All 3 should be loads of fun. :)
 
Cheers. Ep2 was a definite for me anyway, TF2 looks a laugh and I could do with another online FPS (still playing BF2 after 2 years) and portal does look interesting.

BUT WHERE IS THE CITYLINK MAN !!! :(

Been on the van since about 7am and no sign of him yet.

I've tried all my normal tricks...

Looking out the window
not looking out the window
thinking about it
not thinking about it
sitting on the loo
having a long shower
cooking some food

Even singing the Mr Bubbles song from Bioshock

Mr city link, mr city link
where are you, where are you?
come and bring me goodies, come and bring my goodies
graphics card, graphics card


none of it has worked.


The only thing left now is to smear myself in jelly and run round the flat naked whilst pleasuring myself. :eek:

Bioshock turned up this morning and I have installed it and started playing but I don't want to get too far into it as the temptation will be to start it again once the new card is in.
 
:( :mad: :mad: :(

poxy City Link.

Phoned them just before 5pm to see where my delivery has got to and they said delivery can be up to 5:30pm so if I hadn't received it by 6pm to phone them back.

Phoned them back and they have no idea where it is as the driver has not logged in and uploaded his hand held. They are now saying either go to their depo to pick it up or it will be delivered Tuesday. But I'll be at work and don't think I can get anyone to take delivery for me.

The only way they'll deliver tomorrow is if OcUK arrange it with them, going to send them a webnote in a bit to see if they can sort something in the morning.

Not happy at all. Been sat it all day waiting for them to deliver and have purposely not been playing Bioshock as i want to play it on the new card. Stupid thing is is that that was here via Royal Mail before 9am.

LOL

Probably too late for the delivery today now.

If you normally play a new game on the "hard" setting, then do the following to pass the time.

1) Get drunk/stoned and then if you get the delivery, play the game on "medium".

2) If your delivery still hasn't arrived by this stage, get more drunk/stoned and be prepared to use "easy" mode.

3) If your delivery hasn't arrived by this point, then get ready to use cheats and get totally out of your brains.

4) If your delivery still hasn't arrived, it's probably best to wait for the next delivery day at this point :eek:

You know it makes sense.

HTH,
