All versions of Samsung’s new 830 series SSD drives will come with a free copy of Batman: Arkham City, the company’s vice president said during a press conference tonight.
Reid Sullivan, senior vice president of mobile entertainment at Samsung Electronics America, announced the giveaway at a press conference in Manhattan tonight by bringing the Dark Knight out on stage and playing a trailer from the game.
The SSD drives come in four sizes, all of which will come with a code for the game: The 512 GB drive runs $US850, $US430 for the 256GB version, $US230 for the 128GB and $US130 for the 64GB version.

Still, having a smaller, faster drive dedicated to games only could be worth it.

Tuesday, October 25, 2011 at 1:18 PMa small SSD for your OS and your favourite game is the best idea. can fit like OS plus 2 big games on a 64gb and then all programs and other games on a regular 1tb drive. thats what i do.
