X800XL Pre-Order Again at ATI.COM with 10% off

[hiepbiz]

Here is the link http://shop.ati.com/product.asp?sku=2599078. There is a code for 10% off but since I can't post it here, just go to fatwallet forum and find it there. I would consider this is a hot deal although I don't know they would ship it though. I got a 6800gt instead, but someone out there might want this. Good Luck.

Definitely hot, but belongs over in the hot deals section, not for sale/trade.

Unless a mod moved it, this was posted in HD...

OP, DELETE the coupon code and read the forum rules.

 

[KDKPSJ]

Great. I hope this means that they are about to send the orders from the last month. (Which I was in as well )

EDIT: lol. They removed it again. Guess my hope is going away again

 

[YrFc123]

Weird, if i press refresh, it says "unable to locate"
but if I close all my IE boxes, and open it again, the item will be there again! WTF!

 

[bunnyfubbles]

Not hot, unless you're willing to wait a month. Who knows, by then 6800GTs might be reduced to a $299 MSRP...

It'd be a great deal if it wasn't a preorder. Hopefully it does mean those who ordered back in early January will get their orders soon...I'm not going to hold my breath though.

I'd like to jump on this deal, but if I build my new computer now, I won't get that damn card for a month? Anyone have to wait this long?

How about the a$$h0les ship the pre-orders they took back in beginning of January before taking new ones??! :| :| :|

 

[Phew]

Gah, $15 standard shipping.

 

[jpeyton]

Ships next month, according to ATi.

They definitely jacked up the shipping cost. I had an order I placed in the beginning of Feburary without the coupon code as they wouldn't let me use it even though it wasn't the same code that was being passed around (had some friends and family one). Well, I just finished placing another order online where I was able to use the code but standard shipping is now double what I originally paid.

It was supposed to ship in January...then Febuary...now March.

 

[davidos]

Anyone call and ask why the are available for Pre-order again when so many people are waiting for a month to get the last batch... It's gotta be sooner than end of March...

 

[davidos]

Just called and they said Mid-March... Why on earth are they doing business like this???

ATI did that with the x800 XT PE cards last year. I waited 2.5 months before cancelling because they pushed back the date by 2 more months in November (estimated January). And guess what, virtually no one got cards in January either.

I got an x800 XL order in right before it was yanked again. It's a good price, so we'll see next month.

 

[Jeraden]

Cool, I was hoping this would come back. Sure, gotta wait a bit, but I think its worth it.

I preordered the x850 XT PE on 12/1/04 and until yesterday hadn't heard a word from them, then I got this email:

This pissed me off to no end. When they released the announcement of this card on 12-1 they said it would be on the shelves before the holiday season. At the time a lot of nVidia fan boys said that ATI was just doing this to try cut nVidia Christmas sales, I was didn't believe it. Well I believe it now. I have been a long time supporter of ATI cards, and after yesterday I have vowed to never buy another card of theirs. I know I am just one man at that they could care less about me, but they have lost a fan/customer. I don't care how good of a deal the x800XL is, I will never own one.

That link doesn't work anymore. They must have already sold out.

Edit: nm, it works if you refresh it a whole bunch of times.

 

[imported_situman]

geez at least post a link to the code.

 

[sovapid]

I got in on it. Want to build a new computer in march, so the delay is perfect for me.

Search on fatwallet for X800 and you'll find it.

 

[CheesePoofs]

the link doesn't work with firefox for some strange reason ... i had to use IE to access it.

 

[Hilandertheone]

Just to help you guy's out. IF there is a COMPUSA near you it is $299 there and they will have some on Monday. They cant put them on the web till monday but the store near me is getting them on Friday and ill have mine then!!! If you talk to the people at your store (not easy to get ahold of) ask for business services and tell them you want one when it comes in (most store's will have them FRIDAY) GOOD LUCK!

Hope this helps

Is this a dual dvi version? I couoldn't tell from the specs on their site.

Edit
Crap! I missed it. It's VGA and DVI. Man, I need two dvi ports. Do you think it will make a differerence or should I look for a dual dvi version?

 

[caboob]

I'm in on this deal, nice find. Ima not in a hurry to move on to nForce4 anyways.

you'll probably have to pay more, I think PowerColor's X800XL has dual DVI and VIVO...
