Samsung Gives Away Far Cry 4 with 840 EVO SSDs
Samsung Electronics America, Inc. today announced a new gaming bundle offer through a partnership with Ubisoft. Available starting on Black Friday and while supplies last, the deal will provide purchasers of a Samsung 840 EVO solid state drive (SSD) with a bonus download of Far Cry 4, the newest action-adventure game in the popular Far Cry Series.
With the 840 EVO, players of the action-packed Far Cry 4 will be able to enjoy superior gaming through Samsung's best-in-class drive performance. The drive is significantly faster than a standard hard disk drive (HDD), providing users with a better gaming experience through decreased loading times, enhanced responsiveness and overall improved gameplay.
"The 840 EVO SSD offers users with blazing fast speeds, unmatched reliability and overall sustained performance, making it the ideal choice for gamers," said Ron Gazzola, vice president of marketing at Samsung Electronics America. "Players can renew their Far Cry gaming experience with more visually rich effects and noticeably faster loading times. We're thrilled to offer this gaming bundle deal to our customers."
Players will have a longer and less interrupted gaming experience thanks to the 840 EVO. The drive's low idle power consumption and exceptional multi-tasking capabilities help eliminate choppy or lagging performance, and make Samsung's industry leading SSDs the superior choice for gamers.
The Far Cry 4 download is available for the following Samsung 840 EVO SSD capacities: 250 gigabyte (GB), 500GB, 750GB and 1 terabyte (TB). Downloads can be redeemed on Samsung.com/fc4 until September 1, 2015.

I want 512GB SSDs to get a bit cheaper, then I'm on board. Adding a game doesn't change that, at least for me.
In other news, today is almost 2015.
I've not been a fan of WD after buying a terribly slow WD Scorpio Black 750GB, and buying 4 500GB Black model drives three years ago, two of which died pretty much immediately, and they are rather slow too. All of these drives were used in AMD machines, might be an issue concerning some sort of weird conflict with the SB850 making them seem slower?
Edit: I found it on newegg, wow that's a deal.
Now to wait for my economy package to arrive, I wasn't going to pay $30 for UPS 3 day. Really what I should have done was purchased Newegg Premier as I think it would have taken $25 off my order, but I was dumb.
