XFX SECURITY ALERT: PLEASE READ ???

[L1qu1d]

Dear XFX Customers,

In light of recent events, we have come to suspect that one of our 5970 Black Edition Limited cards may have been compromised. In our current inventory check of this limited run of 1,000 individually serialized pieces, #68 has been unaccounted for. Due to evidence of a security breach in our facility, we believe it to have been illegally obtained as the product has yet been released per the embargo date. Please be aware that the person responsible will be subject to persecution by law. If any news can be provided to lead us to the apprehension of the suspect, or you can provide us with any information, please report it to security@xfxforce.com. Please do not attempt to buy, trade, or barter for this unit. We thank you for your cooperation and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Sincerely,
XFX

lol rip...

He says it will be well over 1000$, if thats the case, that card is not worth it....considering you can grab 2 5870 Eyefinity 6 cards for that cash

I'm building an AMD system this coming Sept...both CPU and card. Soo looking forward to some possibilities.

It's a marketing campaign. The bottom of the email reads, "This is an XFX Gamertainment Campaign. Please refer here for more information."

 

[notty22]

It adds a whole gangsta thing over the card/ machine gun ?

 

[IzzyCraft]

Quick some news organization link the part where it looks like a ugly gun to it being stolen.

"...will be subject to persecution by law"


Bold move! They've decided to "persecute" rather than "prosecute".
