Does anyone know if this card (http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?DEPA=&sumit=Go&description=14%2D102%2D326&searchdepa=0) comes with the HL2 voucher?

Hmm...after reading closer @ newegg, it seems that the card is OEM, so I doubt it comes with it.

I would doubt it if its oem. and in the pictures section it doesnt show the box and normally they do that to show HL2 voucher. just spend the extra to get the asus or ati version

The OEM versions do NOT come with the voucher.

The retail Sapphire Atlantis 9600XT Full Retail (NOT Lite Retail) comes with a free HL2 voucher.

That's because it probably isn't the OEM version.

OEM's are normally white or brown box and come with nothing except the bare essentials. For the HL2 offer you need the code of the box, which you wouldn't have as it doesn't have it's proper box.

The code for HL2 isn't on the box.

It's sits in a masked CD slip inside the box with the software bundle.

I just got an e-mail back from newegg, they informed me that it was not included with that OEM card.

My mate got a 9600 XT and it required the voucher, reciept number and the serial code on the box.
