New and existing OCZ Vector SSD (256GB and 512GB) owners are eligible receive Far Cry 3 for free.

Boy oh boy, with the free promotions out there adding up, it's starting to look like if you paid for Far Cry 3, you're doing it wrong. Far Cry 3 was featured in AMD's "Never Settle" game bundles, Samsung was giving it away with the purchase of its 840 Series solid state drives (SSDs) during Cyber Monday, and now OCZ is working the free Far Cry 3 promotion with the purchase of select Vector SSDs.

As OCZ runs out of options (and money), the company may opt to sell off various assets.

The past six months or so have been tumultuous for OCZ Technology, a company that analysts expected might sell itself after its founder and then-chief, Ryan Petersen, abruptly left. Instead, OCZ hired a new CEO who vowed to address credibility problems and turn things around, which unfortunately entailed sacking 28 percent of its staff and dropping 150 product lines. Where does OCZ stand today? In need of cash and running out of options.

OCZ Technology fans have had cause for concern lately. Earlier this month, the former memory maker turned solid state drive player sacked 28 percent of its staff and discontinued 150 product variations. The restructuring effort was put into place by OCZ's recently appointed chief, Ralph Schmitt, who was appointed to replace former CEO and founder Ryan Petersen. At the time, Schmitt admitted OCZ had "lost credibility," but going forward, he seems to have a plan to turn things around.

It's difficult to get a pulse on what's going on at OCZ Technology, though the fact that it still has one is at least a little bit encouraging. What investors didn't find encouraging is OCZ's warning that its customer incentive program will result in a "significant" quarterly loss and "materially lower" revenue than what was previously forecast. On the bright side, there's a new chief in town, and he doesn't seem much into sugar coating the situation.
