You're right. The Powercolor is selling for $370 at Newegg and ZipZoomFly. And they are in stock too. I just can't stand waiting for a part to arrive in order to complete the build. I tried to get in on the BFG 6800 deal Outpost had, but I canceled my order this morning after another person at Outpost said they didn't have a date for new stock. Combine that with the fact that ATI is dragging their butts getting these pre-orders out from January, I would rather pay more now than wait another 1-2 months. But that's just me.

I will keep an eye out for these at CompUSA tomorrow. I still hate that they are not dual dvi though. I guess I have to pay a premium to use todays technology.

Preorder. I have a better idea. How about they preship? Preposterous.

Anyone know if its possible to cancel the order after you've placed it?

It's possible that they may end up cancelling it for you anyway... :disgust:

wow....whole rig has been siting in my room for 2 months but no gpu....bah...an extra 70 is not worth the wait any longer...i guess ill pick up the powercolor x800xl at newegg....iv givin up on price drops...

Man I'm on the fence. If it was 20% off like last time I'd definitely bite...

As an aside, the SKU works for the US side only... Does anyone know the CDN equivalent SKU for the x800 XL?

Right! Hurry up and get your pre-order in because there will be an incredible shortage of this fabulous card for years. Everyone knows ATI can't possibly build to meet the pent up demand. And at a 10% discounts off retail... Incredible!

Video card prices will continue to rise!! Be warned. Buy now! Pre-order! Don't be the fool caught without one!

Yes... everyone knows ATI can't meet the pent up demand... even on pre-orders like this one! hehe...

They will be able to meet demand eventually. Im hoping it'll be in the next few months, but if not, i can personally guarantee they will meet the demand for x800xl cards in two years.

Not really. Mwave is charging $389, whereas Newegg has it for $369 with $5 shipping and ZipZoomFly has it for $373 with free shipping.

This card will reportedly be $300 on CompUSA on Monday.

Something to look out for.

plus tax... and that's a huge YMMV since most CompUSAs still don't even have x800 Pros. It's $40 cheaper for me if ATI actually delivers.

Where have you heard this?

I called them and they said they had no idea when they'd have it in.

Is it suppossed to be $300 in all of their stores, only some of the stores, or just online?

u gotta be kidding me....i just ordered a powercolor yesterday...

 

[Commando8]

I just checked Compusa and you can order it for $299.99 right now.

 

[CheesePoofs]

They just sold out :|.

 

[Wyck]

OOS @ CUSA but w/ the $15 shipping it's only 5% off at ATI. Definitely not worth the wait.

 

[seanp789]

thats a good point. 5% is not worth waiting for.

Althought the GTs are reallly dropping in price, I have a SLI mobo i would hate for it to goto waste.

 

[kwan888]

Just called local CUSA, none in stock.

 

[Maetryx]

How many of these are they planning on making? 12?

It is available to purchase online and maybe a few will filter down to stores. That's what I was saying above... just like the x800 Pro (not a scarce product nowadays) isn't available in most stores.

 

[dfedders]

That sucks! I checked compusa.com last night and they weren't available yet. Looks like they went damn quick. AARRRGGG...
