Yes. It was never going to be a free game. It never said it was going to be a free game. :| It's not the same thing as Never Settle Forever, which I am pretty sure you get the gold tier anyway when you buy a 290X, pre-order or not. 

They never said it would be free. They only said it would be bundled together.

Time will tell as to how this beast actually performs. Hope it does well...

Yea around here you pay full price when you pre-order.  Not really understanding the uproar.

That's insane. What is wrong with AUS?!

we're too small. and we're full of dumbasses that don't know how to vote with their wallets.  We get screwed with petrol, power, gas, software, phones and computer parts. There is no legitimate reason for it other than companies can make big money because there are plenty of dumb pricks who cough up the dough.

I have noticed the price of almost everything is higher than anywhere else. that's unfortunate.

If I want a legitimate copy of adobe it would be cheaper for me to fly to LA, buy the product from a shop and fly home.
