Frys has the Radeon 9800pro 128 meg video card for $189.99

Anyone have luck with this in any SoCal stores? I'll be going to one in about 30 minutes, and I'll see if they have one. I just ordered the Sapphire 9800 Pro from newegg for $212 (with tax came out to about $230). So I may just cancel the order since it hasn't been shipped or processed yet. Or do you guys think the Sapphire 9800 Pro may actually be better then the BBA 9800 Pro?

The buy.com is a little better deal for an ATI retail box 9800 Pro for $205.98 using the coupon.

To lessen the feeling of jealously with those who live in the Bay Area, since they always have good deal with Fry's , I know that they have to pay more for rent, gas, and insurance. There, I feel much better.

Not to mention they're surrounded by ga....fog, yeah fog, all the time.

Yeah, the buy.com deal would be about $7 cheaper (including tax) than the deal from newegg. I don't really mind the $7 price difference or a retail box. What I was wondering more was if the BBA 9800 Pro would perform better (or OC better) than the Sapphire 9800 Pro, but that doesn't matter anymore because the Fry's that I went to today (Woodland Hills, CA), did not have the 9800 Pro for $189. It was $299. So I guess I will just keep my Newegg order.
