Crazy isn't it. This year will be over and done before we know it. Hopefully you'll be in build soon.

Yeah, great. Just missing the promotional items from the gpu and ssd. Probably due to 7 month wait.

That’s a shame. But at least you have it now. Happy gaming.

ah that sucks. i was really hoping they'd still be usable. i'd heard the ssd one had expired but kinda shocked the gpu one is as well. i know it says this can happen in the terms and conditions but in my humble opinion its lame

They’re not set by PCS at all, they’re set by the component manufacturer, it’s nothing PCS have any control over.ah that sucks. i was really hoping they'd still be usable. i'd heard the ssd one had expired but kinda shocked the gpu one is as well. i know it says this can happen in the terms and conditions but in my humble opinion its lame

i understand this and as i said i read the t&cs before ordering so was aware of this as a possible outcome.
however, unfortunately, it remains to be lame regardless of who set the expiry.
you need not raise your banner for PCS i wasn't trying to criticise their practices.

Everything has an expiry date, except possibly the Universe - the jury is still out on that one. It's unfortunate that you seem to have passed the expiry dates and I appreciate that you're disappointed, but that doesn't make the process lame. Not everything in life that doesn't suit you is necessarily lame.

and not everything in life that suits you is necessarily good.
I'm just lamenting a good thing lost to unavoidable circumstance, not lampooning "process", PCS themselves or even the manufacturers of the products that come with timed-offer codes. I like many others feel disappointed, as you realise, and calling something lame doesn't mean im throwing my toys out the pram about it

To be honest, the only thing to blame PCS will be the fact that they haven't offered the codes to the customers before the expiration date even if the system is not built or ready to dispatch yet. At the end of the day, they have thousands of our money in their bank account since months ago and they could have just charged full price for the games in case some of us cancelled some of the orders or something like that.and not everything in life that suits you is necessarily good.

I don't know, I hope what I'm saying make any sens, it's just my opinion about this, please don't kill me! 😬

You can’t redeem the offer as it’s tied to the hardware ID of the component, so you wouldn’t be able to redeem it without doing it on the system. It’s literally nothing PCS have any control over.

If this is the case it make sense! I thought it's just a Steam code/voucher that it is offered to everyone that buys one of them specific components, etc.
I inquired about this when i ordered my PC way back whenever that was and I was told the codes that they get come in with the individual cards so even if they could send the codes over PCS don't actually have them.
If anything it is the component manufacturer who should be issuing these out before the component arrives. However ironically I know say for the NVIDIA graphics cards you need to redeem your codes using a machine with the registered GPU installed, so it is locked, which i thought is a twisted marketing scheme as they offer a year free for their game streaming service only when you have their GPU of which you have just bought that you know can handle the games you want anyway, so their is no need for NVIDIA GeForce Now.
Always thought it'd be nice to get GeForce Now before the GPUs arrive but nope, they wont allow that until you have your GPU of which is powerful enough that you wont use GeForve Now anyways.
Sorry for the rant, just thought it was twisted, feel bad for PCS having to deal with it.

It's the ROG STRIX version of the 3080 which is causing the extra delay.
