Potentially to respond to AMD's well received Never Settle Bundle, Nvidia has unveiled it's own graphics card bundle that features credit for 3 prominent Free-To-Play titles, specifically Hawken, Planetside 2 and World of Tanks. Gamers who purchase a GTX 650 or 650 Ti will receive $75 of in game credit ($25 per title) and buying a GTX 660 or higher will provide $150 of in game credit ($50 per title).
Whilst Nvidia has certainly taken an interesting approach with this bundle, it remains to be seen whether it will effectively entice consumers to buy a GTX graphics card or whether the company will revert to including retail AAA titles in its next bundle. For more information and the offer's terms and conditions you can check out the relevant page on Nvidia's website.

The bundle seems ok, but I would like to be able to decide in which game I spend the cash, I don't play World of Tanks, and being able to use that money instead in Planetside 2 would be really good
GabZDKBut wait, ain't this like 3 days later??The bundle seems ok, but I would like to be able to decide in which game I spend the cash, I don't play World of Tanks, and being able to use that money instead in Planetside 2 would be really good
That's just way too much work for the company. You get credit for all 3 anyway
Not a bad concept IMO, but I feel that this sort of bundle would be better as giving the choice to use the credit in any of the official F2P games or at least a wider selection.
