OEM Radeon XT cards have HL2 coupon?

Alacritan · Dec 16, 2003

I have to order my video card tomorrow for Christmas, and I'm left wondering, if I get the OEM version, will I still get the HL2 coupon? Has anyone purchased an OEM Radeon XT card yet? Or did everyone get the retail version? I heard that the OEM version has it, but I need to make sure.

I dont think you will get one, I think it's only Retail. Not sure though, I havent ordered an OEM

Can any OEM owners confirm this?

Well all the boxed Saphire and PowerColor cards we have in the shop right now, don't come with it.

I have an OEM atlantis sapphire 9600XT that I just got a week ago, and it had the coupon. I bought it at zipzoomfly (formerly googlegear).

wow acid rain thats REALLY good news for me, Im getting the same card, but from allstarshop :bites nails:

Good, hopefully it will be the same packaging.

Zipzoomfly it is! How much did you spend?

If this works out, Zipzoomfly will likely be getting a lot of business of these forums.

Just to make sure, I harassed New Egg some more, as well as Sapphire and Zipzoomfly. That's a decent price at Zipzoomfly. They aren't listed on Pricewatch. After shipping, that's a good deal.

OEMs don't have it.

The sapphires I have in stock now have it and its retail packaged. Saphires have two retail packages...one with and one without the coupon.

This is exactly what I got (actual receipt) from zipzoomfly:

ORDER CONTENT:
1 x (320723) ATI OEM Radeon 9600 XT AGP 8X 128MB DDR Video Card w/TV-Out, DVI

------------------------------
SUBTOTAL : $164.00
SALESTAX : $0.00

I have a free half life 2 ticket (free HL2 CD plus shipping) sitting on my desk.

That's good to know. After Acid's post about his having the coupon, I was beginning to wonder if the distributor was pulling the coupons out, and screwing us.

Some people do that. I have already seen some people selling the coupons alone.
