Also theres the mini bundle.
Mini Bundle – $129 (USD)
Mini Bundle – $129 (USD)
- Intel® Core™ i7 920 processor
- Windows Vista Ultimate*
- Upgrade voucher to receive Windows 7*
upon its release
Actually, having been the recipient of the "Big Deal" bundles for the past few years, I can definitely say it is NOT a scam, in fact the retail edge promotion is an awesome way to upgrade, and I typically wait for the bundles to come out before I upgrade.
It is put on by Intel directly, and they even host conferences and events throughout the year. For instance, this past year they held an advanced screening of Batman: The Dark Knight, for those involved.
It is Free to join, but you HAVE to verify your employment with a pay-stub current within 30 days (I think it is 30, may be more) Validation is only good for 90 days, and then you have to resubmit.
You can also earn points and redeem them for some decent swag that shows up periodically on the website or be entered into the draw. To get the good stuff you have to spend a few hours every month reading marketting and PR junk and answering questions.
Its a great program that Intel puts on. It is geared towards computer "salesmen" to help brainwash...errr, educate, them on what Intel offers and their advantages.
If only more FS and BB employees participated - maybe they could finally grasp the concept of computer technologies...instead of
"this computer is a lot faster than that computer....because the CPU number is higher"

Of course, how did I not see that coming...
