Brian, you said: " Gamers definitely go for the software, even at a higher pricee. This is why CREAF has done poorly, relative to DIMD, with retail Voodoo II. Even though I feel that the CREAF bundle was more impressive, and included more full title, DIMD did a good job of hyping their bundle, and making it appear that they offered the better deal. I don't think this will be the case for the $199 combo."<<<<< Wrong. Gamers don't buy V2 cards based on bundle. V2 is targeted at gamers who know their games. They don't confuse full games for demos. Monster simply has better branding. Many of these people did great with the first monster and didn't mess with straying to someone else for V2. I have seen surveys on several V2 sites which stated that bundle was not that important. CREAF had a better price and bundle and still couldn't come close to the monster. Branding. Familiarity.
