    I didn't buy a Radeon. Newegg had this price error where they were selling the promo cards you get with the GPUs for 99 cents. So basically you pay one dollar and get 3 games, one of which was this special AMD livery Mustang package. I got that. As for powerful fleets, I have a friend who has...

    Did you buy any of the discounted packs? I bought one even though I already have the Freelancer and Mustang from the AMD promo. Dunno why I keep throwing money at this game lol

    Any SSD Deals?

    No particular reason other than that I had read the EVO is a better option. There's nothing wrong with the V300. BTW, the price of the 250GB EVO has dropped by another $10 and it's down to $99.99 now.

    Any SSD Deals?

    Well you could probably easily sell/trade the FC4 code to someone for 1200-1300 bucks here or $30 on international forums. That subsidizes your cost. $109 (no shipping) - $20 FC4 code sale = $90 which means 36c per GB which is lower than what you'd pay if you bought a 1TB drive. edit - as for...

    Any SSD Deals?

    Samsung has an offer going on where any SSDof theirs >= 250GB gets a free copy of Far Cry 4. The EVO 250 is currently the top selling SSD on Amazon for $109 (which translates to $130 if you get it shipped here). That's just slightly under the Rs 8.8k you can get it for locally but you do get a...

    INDIAN Quake Live Server - IP Testing

    Well, the Steam release is imminent. Of course, they've completely ruined the game for anyone who doesn't subscribe. There's a trailer up as well here They've changed the original announcer because why not?

    The DFM is limited right now. Only 3 ships are implemented so if you don't own any of them, you're given a similar ship to play with. Multiplayer access is only available to very few people right now. Single player is basically horde mode but you run out of ammo pretty quick and I'm not sure...

    They reached 36 million in crowdfunding last night and passed 350,000 backers a few days ago. Also, my Freelancer cockpit is getting an upgrade that improves visibility by removing the window struts. Very pleased about that :)

    Like most other games, it's way more fun in co-op. However, just finding friends on the map when you start a life can be a daunting task. Solo play is pretty fantastic too though. The tension of playing a lone wolf trying to survive in a hostile island environment with no friends is quite the...

    PrimeABGB.com clearance - good deals like 2gb AMD 7750 for 5.3k, Sennheiser earphones for 300 etc.

    Bought from them a couple of times using net banking with icici. Everything was fine.

    [no longer available] Free Win 8.1 key to Dreamspark members

    How does one extract magnet links for the files? I assume it comes from the .sdx file? Their proprietary download manager is giving me headaches :\

    The 2013 Black Friday thread

    I have no direct personal experience with this, but I'd imagine tubes of paste are the stuff of nightmares for airlines. At the very least, don't put it in cabin baggage. Checked baggage might be okay. To be honest though, I'd just buy it locally to save the hassle. I got a tube of Arctic Silver...

    The 2013 Black Friday thread

    When you say you 'got' it, does that mean they emailed a copy to you? Or just told you over the phone about how much the customs amount was? Going to call Aramex tomorrow myself.

    Received my SSD today. Shipped out on November 30th but didn't leave USA until the 8th. After that it took 3 days to get here.

    [no longer available] Free Win 8.1 key to Dreamspark members

    Quick question about this. I got Dreamspark access today. The first post mentions that there are 4 Win 8 keys available but I can't tell which those are. I added the basic English version to my cart and 'bought' it but beyond that I'm not sure which of the 10 odd available downloads actually are...

    Ended up ordering the Kingston SSD from Amazon. Had some store credit which took care of the shipping/customs so the total comes to $69.82 (approx 4530 bucks). I'm guessing it won't have a mounting bracket so where can I pick up one of those?

    Not to put too fine a point on it, but this isn't just 'one of the most successful crowdfunding endeavors'... it's the most successful crowdfunding endeavor ever :P It has beaten out everything else by tens of millions of dollars. At the very least, that's reason enough to look into the project...
