please dont bash this thread, one of my first on hot deals thread.
TRY PMING TO STAPLES THIS IS A PRICE MISTAKE SO DONT GET IT FROM AMAZON.COM BUT TRY TO PRICE MATCH TO STAPLES.

i don't think it'll go through but it's a hot price.

Though it says that Office Depot is offering it, the sole user review says:

Alphacraze-AVOID THIS BAIT & SWITCH, April 9, 2003
Reviewer: An electronics fan from Memphis, TN
Oredered this card received 9500-no phone# or address on site. NO SERVICE FOR YOUR INEVITABLE PROBLEMS-canned e-mail replies- UNRESOLVED complaints w/ CT BBB.

Hmm.....The only Radeon 9700 listed at OD's site is an AIW for $400.

As always, caveat emptor.

Ouch, I was gonna order one, but after seeing the review on the website, I'm probably not going to. Looks like OD used a "7" instead of a "5"

I wouldn't be surprised if you get a 9500 instead of the 9700.

Same here.

It's still pretty good to get a Radeon 9500 Pro for $130.

 

[m1ke101]

okay after reading that review, it would be pretty dumb to order and expect a 9700....

 

[watchtower7]

[watchtower7]

sorry about the double post

 

[Darkhawk28]

Still a darn good price for a Radeon 9500 Pro.

 

[hytek369]

wish it were true, damn hot

 

[jewelzdaggy]

so like, what do we do if we already bought it without realizing it would be a 9500..... office depot section says no canceling . Don't wanna lose 9 bucks shipping on jumping the gun.

 

[JoyDutta]

Are people getting 128MB 9500 pro? or the 64 MB version?
I think I will order one if its the 128MB vesion. Its pretty hot in that case.

 

[jewelzdaggy]

Nope it's the 64 mb version. Same email here:

not so hot then

 

[frankqfrank]

 

[compfreak999]

SUE THEM, FAULTY ADVERTISING

but isnt the 9500 at least better then the 9600.

 

[michal1980]

talked to office depot to cancel my order,
seems like the problem is on amazon's end, and there sending office depot the part number for the 9500 pro card
not hot

 

[michal1980]

any hope of price matching this?

any stores allow price matching of websites?

 

[Ionizer86]

Hmm, last time I called up (I think) Staples, they were quite happy to PM Amazon, even an after rebate Amazon cost (it took a few CSR's though).

 

[MySTified3k]

Notice it says 9500, not 9500 pro. Quite a big diff between the two. $130 for a 9500 pro is a HOT deal, as they are very hard to find and better than the 9600 pros. A 9500 non pro though for $130, not so good.

 

[Techie333]

Anybody price matched this???!!!

 

[compfreak999]

TIME FOR MAJOR PM'ING TO STAPLES.

 

[jm0ris0n]

Hmm I just ordered one of these...So how would I go about canceling it / getting OD to assure me I will be getting a 9700 ?
