I would like to comment on a few things I'm seeing here on this thread. Not to add to the fire or anything of that nature. Just my 2 cents in the name of wisdom and harmony.
The people that worry about what others do or don't do is something you just need to leave alone. If you're into rap, then this would be called "playa hating" don't do it. For the rest of us, it's just simply called worrying about yourself. And most of us do it.
Facts,
*Someone is always going to have more money than you. A fact of life.
*Someone is always going to take advantage if they can. Ordering 2 Amd64 / Motherboard bundles or
taking more shrimp than you should at a buffet. It's just a fact of life.
Lets say you have a lot of junk and decide to have a garage sale. You know ahead of time or while you are marking the prices on your items that someone is going to pester you to get that .50 cent glass for a dime. They may even decide to take all of them at a dime. Not the best example, but it works.
My point is, AMD, a Billion dollar company knew some of these would end up on eBay. Did it stop them from offering the bundle, no. Does it affect you and I? Prolly not.
Common sense goes a long way, minding your own buisness goes even further.
I'm not saying this should be the law of the land, just offering up a different opinion that maybe some of you will think about. If you don't, then fine. The world, your friends, even these forums are full of asses and jokers. What are you?
With all that said, I hope I get this bundle, as well as all the others, from the people that want it, need it and even the people taking advantage. So far, the reports coming in look promising. I agree with what someone said earlier about the TRUE cost of this to AMD. It's a lot less than most of you think. I couldn't really guess what that cost might be. But its low. Also, AMD has what is called a marketing budget. I'm sure this promo was part of that.
Regards.
