Curious about ATI 9600Pro purchase

I bought an AT 9600Pro through NCIX. When it arrived it was a boxed retail
ATI card which is what I expected. What I thought was curious was:

No bundled games
No DVI to VGA adapter
No cables i.e. S-video

I got:

Setup CD
Graphics Card
Manual
Fancy Box

I used my adapter from my 7500 and I don't need the S-video cable and I got
it at a decent price $239CDN but still curious about the above.

BTW, works like a dream!

I buy most of my hardware from NCIX (in person, not online) and found them
reliable.

I guess ATI is just nickel-and-diming on the accessories now. If only they
would use the money they save to pay for good programmers.

I found that odd too when I (briefly) had a 9600 Pro. It didn't even come
with as many accessories as the 9000 Pro I have! The 9800NP I got recently,
however, did come with the VGA-DVI dongle as well as an S-video to composite
adaptor, an S-video cable and a composite video cable.
