AMD has given away a 3-in-1 gaming bundle on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon to everyone in the audience.

 

This bundle includes:

  • A Sapphire Radeon R9 series GPU (Said to be a 270x) with BF4 included.
  • An HP Touchsmart Laptop (no specific model was stated I believe) and
  • A Newegg gift Voucher worth $500 intended for any console you'd like (Wii U/PS4/Xbox One) though you probably could just use it on anything else found on Newegg.

So what do you guys think, was this move really a good way for AMD to be known to the general public?

sounds like the audience got a good deal here they could sell the 270x and laptop and probably build a new system if they wanted good guy AMD

Seriously, the only fucking reason I bought the 270x instead of a 760 off eBay was because it was supposed to include bf4

Nice to see AMD getting their name out there more. But I gotta imagine the majority of that audience is unable to use the 270X for themselves or has any idea what to do with it...

 

Yeah, I'm jealous >:o

Damn that is a great bundle. You could sell that laptop get money for an upgrade/new build if you don't use it and use that $500 for creating a new build. :)
