    Paid $129 for a 9600SE got a 9600PRO at BB

    Thank you thank you. You just removed my last bit of temptation. I'm in Ann Arbor as well, was debating whether I want to get this. But since there is none left, I won't have to waste any more brain cells on it. :D Thanks. What I really want is a radeon 9800 Pro (but that 9600 was cheap)...

    Mistake price Radeon 9700Pro..129$

    No, I was just giving it a shot. A long shot, I admit. They should have just canceled the order and apologized. Being rude was totally uncalled for. Just as there is no need for you to call other people you never met thieves.

    Mistake price Radeon 9700Pro..129$

    Vic, you are way out of line here calling other people you don't even know thieves, and wolves. I think you got some serious issues. I largely agree with what Xephoid said. Nobody deserves rude customer service, and we are definitely not "thieves" or "wolves". It was probably a price...

    Mistake price Radeon 9700Pro..129$

    Don't know about the others, I called them BEFORE I got the e-mail my order was canceled. THE E-MAIL DIDN'T COME UNTIL THE NEXT DAY! It won't make me happy if DU goes bankrupt. But it sure didn't make me happy when they were rude for no good reason. If they keep on treating their customers...

    Mistake price Radeon 9700Pro..129$

    I knew it was PROBABLY a mistake. That's why I wasn't depending on them to give me a 9700 pro for $129. But I am hoping to get a coupon or free shipping code, at least an appology, as any half decent business would do. I wasn't however, expecting to be treated rudely. Also, the fact that...

    Mistake price Radeon 9700Pro..129$

    Man, you need to calm down. Yes, I'm comparing a price mistake to a doctor's mistake. Because they are both mistakes made on the professional on things they are trained to do. I'm an organic chemist, working at a pharamceutical company. I'm held responsible for my mistakes I make at work...

    Mistake price Radeon 9700Pro..129$

    I believe people should be held responsible for their mistakes. When I make a mistake, I pay for them. So when I company make a price mistake, they need to pay for it. I don't believe in bash a company without cause. It's a price mistake, but when you make a mistake in life, you pay for it...

    Mistake price Radeon 9700Pro..129$

    hey, but it's still fun to bash their ratings. They made an mistake, but since they handled it so horriably, they are paying for it. Had they gave me a 10% off or something, I would have let it slide. But nope, no e-mail, no nothing, so they get a nice little present in their ratings from me...

    Mistake price Radeon 9700Pro..129$

    The problem here is they shouldn't charge your card until they accepted the order and is shipping the stuff. If they aren't willing to ship, then they shouldn't charge the card.

    Radeon 9600 Pro $169 AR@Best Buy

    9600 Pro may not over clock very well any more. The earlier 9600 Pro were great overclockers, but the newer ones often aren't. There is suspicion that ATI toned down the voltage for the core, so unless you can do some serious mod, you might have a tough time at OC'ing it. But then again, you...

    AMD Athlon 64---win a trip to SF and a chance to buy m/p/r for $640!

    Read the OP. "eight packages per day will be available for the purchase price of $640-less than the cost of the chip alone."

    AMD Athlon 64---win a trip to SF and a chance to buy m/p/r for $640!

    So it means the Athlon 64 will have a price tag greater than $640.... Looks like it will won't be affordable probably until late spring next year.

    $5 a carat diamonds!

    It just proves that some women are brain washed. Time to un-wash them. Sounds Kinky. ;) But seriously, if they would turn down a proposal because you bought a man made diamond instead an "organic" diamond, then you know she is not marrying you for the right reason. Run away as fast as you...
