Not surprising, probably should have waited and bought the codes off ebay instead of buying off GMG.
Oh wow, good point.

Even though I have little interest in Witcher 3 (still have the first two, barely played because the combat) and I didn't plan to get Arkham Knight until next year's likely "GOTY" edition that's still tempting and I want to hold off until proper DX12 (with HW features) GPUs come out. Still my SLI'd GTX460 is pretty long in the tooth at this point. That ~$110 off for whoever is looking for both those games right away is almost too good to pass up. Even with the issues I'm seriously considering buying a 970 now...
What is kinguin? Are the keys legitimate?
Its a key selling site and as far as i know, the keys are legot. They've been working for me for a good while.

I have a 980 shipping in a PC to me in a week. But it seems these are both a "buy from here and get a code" thing, not "any 980 bought in the time period gets a code."
They activate on steam just fine.

I wouldn't even want Arkham Knight for free after the terrible DLC announcement, and Witcher 3 looks even worse then Witcher 2 which was worse then Witcher 1 so that just spells trouble and disaster.
Also I'm not buying Nvidia's overpriced and mislabeled GPUs. 970 is 3.5gb+512mb of older VRAM and 980 is super overpriced, I'm saving up for i7+R9 290x masterrace.

I didn't say the keys wouldn't work, just that they are not an authorized keyseller.

lol at the bolded
just because they're gonna have a lot of DLC doesn't mean the base game is suddenly trash

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
That's quite an understatement. My old OC'd 7950 had double the AMD-FLOPS of PS4. My OC'd 970 outperforms my old card in games by quite a bit, and 980 outperforms my current card.
Eh, I dont concern myself with how the cow becomes a steak, just as long as it arrives on my table.

I'm assuming these are GOG keys? Is there an option for Steam?

Yet it's still missing the $40 season pass
TW3 is a GOG key, yes. Best you can do is sell it and put the money towards the Steam version.

That's the $60 question.

You should. Any talk of key selling sites is banned on GAF.
Really? I did not know that. I'll refrain from speaking about it again. My apologies
Waiting to get a 970 continues to pay off. Now I just have to figure out if I want to keep my i5-2500 for now
(The reason those sites are cheap is because there's stolen and scammed keys sprinkled in with the legit ones)
That's a poor attitude. Tends to result in large amounts of crime when lots of people have it.

Ebay is a huge risk to get burned though.
It will be cheaper to just get it from someone at the B/S/T thread .
Didn't know that. I guess I won't be using them anymore.
runs to ebay.....
Not for digital code auctions that they don't technically support.
You can easily get burned. Buyer takes your money, doesn't respond. You try to use buyer protection, and they tell you third-party digital content auctions that aren't classified ads are not covered.
Unless you're buying from a mega seller like Buy, Newegg, or Best Buy, you're at risk. I used it for years with a perfect history until I got scammed on both sides, and ebay/PP didn't give a crap. My rule of thumb is unless it's a huge retailer, don't use ebay/PP unless you're ok losing the item or cost.
This promotion should launch in the next few days, maybe next week..
i've never heard of this place before this thread

Well, shit.
Might as well build a rig. That's not a bad deal.
970 is still decent, right?

Even if you buy one today or bought one a week ago, if this deal starts later this week or next week and you bought a 970 or 980 from Amazon or NewEgg you'll probably be able to get them to send you the code for Arkham City. I've been reading people have been able to get The Witcher 3 even though they bought their video card months beforehand. I doubt retailers care that much since the promotion isn't coming out of their bottom line.

Damn. Missed this by a week. Haven't even successfully installed my second 970 yet...
