I'm thinking of switching over to the red team for my birthday (AKA AMD LOL) and might be getting a 280 or 280X. Because these are high-end cards they fall in the gold category for the Never Settle Forever promotion thing.

 

There was a list of stores on the promotion page but there was none from Australia. Is this promotion even available in Australia?

I thought 280X was silver series? 

Just checked, the R9 280(X) series is part of gold. I'm assuming because they're basically Radeon HD 7970's and 7950's which were former gold bracket GPUs.

Edit: Australia was not listed on the site... Maybe you could get one from a nearby region that offers this? Have fun with shipping.

Maybe look into buying it from Newegg or Amazon.
or if you really want the bundle, buy the codes on ebay, I did that with one of the previous bundles. $30 well spent for a bunch of games.

The free games don't bother me too much, I just saw a few games that I might like on there.

 

I considered getting one from overseas but there wasn't any stores in South-East Asia either.

Just buy from amazon, I have before without any drama. Although for some reason they won't ship asus motherboards, but asus gpu's are fine???
