[Engadget] Samsung bundles Assassin's Creed III with SSD 840 Pro to spark a sales revolution,...

Samsung's experiment with a Ghost Recon SSD bundle must have been a hit with gamers, since it's coming back for a second round the very same year. The upgrade-minded buying 128GB, 256GB or 512GB versions of the SSD 840 Pro can get a free downloadable copy of Assassin's Creed III for a "limited time" to take advantage of those 540MB/s peak read speeds while they skew the fate of the American Revolutionary War. The bundle comes not-so-coincidentally as Samsung has shipped and priced the wider SSD 840 line itself: while we knew the Pro line's impact on our wallets, the regular models are now ready to sell at prices between $140 for a 120GB drive to $700 for a 500GB model.

... and of course I just bought myself a new sammy 830 last weekend. If I'd known this I'd have gone the 840 route after all frown.gif

Wow now that is really tempting. Was debating on buying the game and cannot find an excuse not to. $60 for the game and $80 for a 120gb 830 is just awesome!

$140 for 120GB to $700 for 500GB? That's...pretty steep. I'm fine with my 830 128gb I bought a couple of days ago smile.gif
