Just ignore my thread... nothing to see here
Lets be logical here, if this does happen, I am willing to bet you $100 that CIG will honor your Raven ownership and either allow you to keep it or replace it.
You bought an SSD because you wanted the Raven. The SSD fails, you send it in to get it replaced. That Raven will be in your account for sure.
I don't think there is any concern for worry, if you payed for a Raven promo disk and it fails it' s exchange to a new drive not a return of the original promo pack it self. I would be very surprised if CIG did not honor the original deal as binding unless you return the hole original promo packages with the drive and ask for a full refund which in that case the Raven should be removed from a account.

Unmeltable, ungiftable.....
That's not a very friendly promo.... AMD Omega was a better promo because we were able to gift them.
I saw someone claim to have bought 10 so that he could gift them... rip doing that in game or through the RSI website.

Well his plan might be to gift the hole packages with the drives and all I can't see how that would be a problem unless he entered the code to get all 10 ships in to his account which in this case would be a Naa naa naa naa naaaa na (RIP)
:ghost:
Well you're always subject to losing it either way if the drive is returned. Might as well gift the whole thing.

The ship being ungiftable / unmeltable aspect probably has nothing to do with the promo itself; but CIG's recent plans / actions to prevent grey market sales (or at least attempt to)...similar to when they tried to remove the ability to purchase $0-10 CCU's and everyone freaked out over it.Found this info on the trading subreddit

To me, here's the real question:
"Why doesn't it have LTI?" lol
My only concern is if this ship being exclusive is not available for purchase in game outside of private player to player transactions.
ugh... marketing... the usual bs... in the legal fine print I'm sure.
Seems to me that Intel is not acting in "good faith" with its consumer base. Their unwillingness to allow a player to keep their special edition ship should they return the drive due to defect almost undermines all of the claims of this drive having superb stability by Intel.
Have they delivered it yet? What does it smell of?
If it smells like the inside of your own head, it probably doesn't smell of anything and you are just smelling what the inside of your own head.

why am I contemplating an SSD for a machine I cannot use it in? Future-proofing! yes, that's it.

Did NewEgg finally come through?Redeemed
Remember, you gotta deal with lowest common denominator. Which would be you would have people buying the Optane 900P, redemming the code and then returning the SSD which means they get a Sabre Raven for free.
I honestly think if you return it you should lose the raven code, but if you send it in for replacement you should keep it.

You do lose the Raven if the drive is returned, that's been confirmed.
Yeah, think it would work with RSI on that one.
