    Q9450 Combo Quirk?

    Hi all,

     Had a quick question. I'm lookin at the Q9450 here ( Item #:  N82E16819115042 ), and I see it has a little combo deal action, which is great.  It makes me seriously consider dropping on the processor, even knowing about the upcoming Intel price drop.

     I see the first combo (and one I'm most interested in) includes 2 "Intel Free Games" with purchase. I click on them and I am plesantly surprised to see one game is World in Conflict, OEM of course, but the full version no less. Not bad at all. Then I look at the other one, and I am kind of put off by seeing that it's a 10 day trial of, get this, World in Conflict.

     Now, don't get me wrong, the fact that this combo includes the full version of any premium game for free is sweet. I am just confused by the combo including a trial of the same game you're getting a full version of in the same order. Any idea of this is really what you get with the order? Is this maybe a mistake?

     I'd love to know if maybe the combo was to include something else, or if there's a substitute available?  Thanks for any info!

    Combo deals should be what it lists on their site. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductCombos.aspx?Item=N82E16819115042&SubCategory=343&SortField=0&PageSize=10&page=1

    Guess it might be the promotion launched by newegg or Intel. two free game, but still with the same price with the CPU...Cool deal, why not give 'em a shot?....lol

    Disregard...

    I guess this is exactly as intended by Intel.

    Found a promo offer from Mwave that explains the offer.  It includes a "FREE trial copy for a friend."  http://www.mwave.com/mwave/intelwic.hmx

     Well, my bad for not researching this first...
