The promo does not work if you are running 32-bit (to my understanding) and want to upgrade to 64-bit.
I'm a fairly big gamer and I understand the benefits of 64-bit but is it worth it right now? Should I just go with a 32-bit OS?

Just stick with the 32-bit version. The 64-bit version is a whore to get some things working on it. A lot of companies still haven't started putting out 64-bit drivers for everything. There also won't be a HUGE difference in speed/etc.
