Well, I just got an E-Mail from GreatFun... you need to sign up for the free 2 month service (which you can cancel with no charges) to get the $25 off rebate coupon/link.
Wow! This is great!
Doom3 + 6800GT for 395.35 - next day air shipped
$25 off rebate
$370.35 total!
Heck yeah! As long as Buy.com doesn't pull a fast one... So if you figure $50 for D3, the card ends up being between $310 - $320 (depending on shipping - I got 2-day). Not bad at all!
Hopefully the MSI is not a POS. This is probably the first major hardware purchase I've made without reading extensive reviews. I know their mobos have had some capacitor issues, but my MSI GF3 from 4 years ago is still going strong.:thumbsup:
Yep, this deal is excellent if it goes through . Lets just hope it comes soon!
Do not be worried about MSI , from what I understand, all boards are manufactured by the same company, and each individual company puts there own stickers on the reference heatsink (or in some cases, like LeadTek, apply there own custom HSF). So, everything should be the same parts wise.
Luckily we got a pretty good warranty on this card, 3 year parts, 2 year labor. Anything past then, we should be looking foward to upgrading to something else.
I'm also running an old school MSI Ti200, still going strong. MSI is a big name, we can assume this product will be good. I'd much rather have an MSI than an eVGA/PNY.
