I agree, bcabnaugh. But, he is right. Some will be mad they didn't get the Batman. I would have gotten neither anyway with a Titan. Had I gotten a 980, I would have already had it before now instead of the Titan. Oh well. Awesome for the folks that were on the fence about buying, though.

That is a good deal! I think I may have to fake a reason for a 4th gpu....
Nah, I'll just buy the game, lol. Let the salt pour for the ones that just bought gpus and are excluded from the offer.

It's a heck of a deal and I'm surprised they're even offering it considering the cards have no competition. I'm a bit jelly since I got my 980 SC about 3 weeks ago but I still snagged the witcher 3 for free. My other 970 and 980 ftw's nothing was included. That's just the way it goes.

To me, this move seems like nVidia is kind of afraid of AMD R9 300 series... get all the money while they can. @Mekhed - or tell her that you won it lol!

The rumors about the AMD R9 3XX series have been going on for so long that I'm sure NVIDIA is quite aware of it. It wouldn't surprise me if NVIDIA has a counter attack GPU.

All kidding aside, This 970 ssc+ is a great card and an outstanding deal even without the free games. Price to performance is an amazing value

I got the shaft on both. Yeah you should probably not get your card from Amazon.ca, the "any GTX 900 series" and the Amazon logo on nVidia's page are misleading.

On the nVidia page after picking Canada from the list of countries - it lists Amazon as a participating retailer. And yet, it only applies to US amazon. So it's listed as a retailer, but only if you import a card from the US.

send your cards back and just walk into Bestbuy and get an SSC. i guarantee it will work, and you won't have to mess with shipping. Plus, Bestbuy honors all EVGA warranties. Bonus.
