NVIDIA Extends Availability of Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War Bundle for RTX 3080, RTX 3090 to January 2021

Raevenlord · Dec 17, 2020

NVIDIA has decided to extend the availability of their bundle offer for the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 graphics cards. The company announced last October that gamers who purchase those particular graphics cards would receive a code for the latest entry in the blockbuster Call of Duty franchise. In hindsight, this wasn't much of a big deal for the company; considering general availability for the RTX 30-series, it stands to reason that not many codes were activated, anyway. However, and probably in relation to the continuing shortages on NVIDIA's latest GPUs, the company has extended the bundle's offer through January 11th 2021 - the same day CES is happening. Codes must be redeemed via the GeForce Experience application on a system with a qualifying graphics card installed.

[me laughing] I can't even get a chance to even see it in-stock. Scalper is still active. Not paying premium. I'll wait til like 3rd quarter of next year. Maybe I'll get a 3090 Ti.

"The Ultimate Play"

Yeah you can interpret that in several ways

Nvidia: The way you're meant to get played

for the first month, you get a free Lamborghini with every purchase! that is...if you can find one.

The scalpers must be excited at this news.

Indeed I’m not sure that even long enough to get 100 more cards to retailers...

It doesn't cost them much, since there aren't that many cards to begin with. Just sayin'.

Better stretch that time window to Q2 2021 at this rate lol. But to Jan 11, who are they kidding?

Right? I’m thinking maybe 5 people will be able to redeem it in time :roll:

My 3090 came with the code for Watchdogs, a much better deal than COD if your focus is into single player games, the black ops subset of the COD series have always been a hit or miss for me.

Still good news to hear people get an included game with their cards, not many games out there to make use of some of the features in the RTX cards.

So how the hell do you redeem this?

I'd be more interested in a hunt and shoot the scalpers game.
