Found this on SD. Thought it would be pretty relevant to the [H] crowd.
Hello,
I just received word of a pretty cool deal that will happen between November 28th and December 1st.
Apparently you can go to Newegg.com or TigerDirect.com and purchase any of their pre-selected (they select good components for these) AMD GAME! upgrade kits at a value of $400 (or more) and you will receive $500 worth of Gasoline vouchers. That means you are in the green $100 when all is said and done. Pretty sweet.
There will only be 900 available (total) so make sure your Newegg and TD accounts are logged in on November 27th to make sure you can jump on it before they're all gone. If you were looking for a comp upgrade then you might as well get some gas money out of it as well, right?
Cheers,

PS: AMD GAME! upgrade kits will probably consist of AMD processors/motherboards/video cards. I suspect there will be like combo packages with motherboard+processors or motherboard+graphics... something like how newegg usually offers bundle pacakges.
PSS: This is totally worth it if you find a package of the motherboard+graphics as long as you get a motherboard that is compatible with AM3 (most of the better motherboards are). AMD will launch Phenom II at the end of December and they are pretty dang fast and great value for money. Processor + motherboard + video card = good performance, low price platform
