How about you people start posting links directly to the store and not to pcpp?

ROG Swift Rival for AMD Folks, cool beans.

Paying 15 euros for 4Mbit here.
Fuck rural areas.

Sorry can hear him over 200 Mbit internet for 15 euros in fucking Slovakia :-*

They are basically giving them away
 
I would go with the powercolour one since im not the biggest ocer.
 
That one is 230 bucks w/rebate.

That's a hot deal. Man, I bet the 290x's  are going to start flying off the shelves now the same way the 290s did all November.

Wow, these cards are becoming dirt cheap. Very excited about it.

I have to put my company name, job title and industry? Such a shame as I'm only a student and have none of them 

I didnt make a account. bought as a guest and after i paid the code was right infront of my face. copy paste to Origin and bam! BF4 for 5.32 after tax!

same boat, got a message into GS about this.
for those that bought a gamestop game, without creating an account first:
go to gamestop.com
log out of your account
after logout hover mouse pointer over sign in/your account
scroll down and click guest/in-store orders
fill in the the email address and order confirmation number
this will provide you your game code. and then follow the instructions to redeem
(usually a sign up on that publishers site to d/l the software title)

Hmph. So I bought this last night, but decided to go through checkout as a guest since I figured I wouldn't ever use a Gamespot account for anything else. Paid with my credit card, and got the confirmation email about my purchase, and a second email with a download link. However, this download link is for 'Account Order History', and I had never created an account. I ended up making one with the same email address, hoping BF4 would then show up in the account, but there's nothing so far. I just sent an email into support, hopefully they sort it out...
 
tl;dr - Unless I'm missing something obvious here, it's probably best to create a Gamespot account at the time of your purchase.

Can't really complain about $5.
 
Well you probably can, but this is a pretty good price.
GameStop for $4.99 Origin key. US only.

Crap I would have grabbed one... Been meaning to try them

But how will people heat their houses if the 3xx series won't be nearly on fire?

Is this a hint that the R9 3xx series will be very efficient, cheap, and powerful? Either way, this is quite impressive.

Must...wait...for... 300 series cards.

does that say 256c?

Sucks that the logo is complete ass.

great vid linus, I laughed when at the start really long spiky hair then BOOM it disappeared lol.

Firstly id like to talk about an old tale, this tale consisted on three titans so to speak. They came and ripped up the competition, by standers watched in fear that their pcs may not be able to handle such a radical change, change itself, is that something we want, do we need it?
 
Either way, AMD is making your mind up for you for another gpu enters the stage, it doesnt boast some wonderful name, hell its family line may of had its glitches.
 
But the bottem line is that its a monster, its a complete tank.
 
Those titans I was talking about earlier, they mean nothing in the wake of this being.
 
So let it be known, the Radeon R7 250XE, the dark horse, it now rises, its all pcb now.
 

 
At first glance you would expect  a pathetic lowly creature however it boasts 640 stream processors, it rivals that of a 7770 yet it needs no six pin for extra power.
 
And as for power usage, 35watts, yeah five more then the radeon 6450, crazy
 
As if that wasnt enough they reduced the price, what you mean by 10%? 20%?
 
NO 50% OFF.
 
You see this card will be going into combat with the Gt 740 where it will win, at everything(apart from physx, i wont tell you why, go google it).
 

 
You might ask, brownninja97, why in the name of mini-linus(unofficial name) would i buy such a thing?
 
Well you would buy this so that you have a light gaming htpc, a streaming pc, a hd ready "for science" machine, your poor, your country sucks with prices and import fees.
 
The end goal for this is for people that want a gpu but dont have the money and also for OEM companies, those companies can go crazy with saying you can have a gpu and a reasonable one at that, at least it smashes intel hd and well rivals an xbone but graphics horsepower isnt everything.
 
Well its up to you to decide whether this is needed in your life, for many people its pointless but for many others its amazing.
 
Take in mind i could easily ram this gpu in a system with a 220w(or higher) psu and be happy that the psu can handle it.

Sorry i wanted to know everything about this card so i got a little excited with the sources.

I wish people would cut the crap about heat jokes <_<

MSI posted a little teaser picture of a new board today. 
 
I'm not a fan of black and red boards, but the way that they've done this I/O is amazing. I'm hoping this sort of primarily black with very small red accents continues onto the rest of the board. If it does, we might have a black and red board that is genuinely very good looking. Would like to see I/O like this but in different colours, even though you never really see it

The G3 from LG is the first phone I've used with a 2560x1440 display. That's a lotta pixels! Not to mention the rest of the top-of-the-range specs!
 


 
Alright, now onto the good stuff. LG is giving us TWENTY FIVE G3's to give away! All you need to do to qualify is post your favourite thing about the G3 from the review above in this thread and you can be selected at random to win one of these phones!
 
Please note that they are retail units (in the video I said pre-production, but this has since been changed) and they are Korean unlocked global units, so you will need to verify if they will work correctly on your carrier! To my knowledge they will work on AT&T or T-Mobile, but I got no data - only get voice and SMS on my carrier (Bell) so YMMV.
 
Either way you can still enter to win one, and you an always use it as a portable gaming device or whatever... I mean, it's a G3 man! The wifi will work! Best of luck to everyone!
 
One entry per household.
 
The giveaway is worldwide and closes July 6th and the winners will be announced on Twitter, so make sure you're following @LinusTech!
