I didn't actually say this but it was a close thing.

$169.99
SOLD OUT

Most folks can't afford to be dedicated gamers so when a card comes as a near match it gets grabbed.
In fairness though all the new ATI/AMD cards seem to be growing legs : http://www.extremetech.com/article2/...2355819,00.asp


I'm stilling wondering what the deal was with the $500 + cards they were inflicting on us awhile back but I'm glad that's over with.

Either way, it's certainly nice to see a powerful card on the market for a more reasonable price.

It's no surprise that when you combine those two factors that you get a mad rush at the door
