YMMV, but I ordered this last week and, based on the pictures on the anandtech article on the LE, ia ctually got a Radeon DDR. It had a fan instead of the heatsink and it had the ATI graphics logo on it rather than the logo minus the ATI symbol. Installed it last night and works like a champ...

I bet they increased the price to $1500 so that noone else would order it. If it were a real Best Buy price, it would be $1499.99. Obviously they want the insanity to stop as well. Now if someone at Best Buy had only thought of that yesterday when they knew they were not going to get any...

I went by Sears yesterday, and the signs all said 10% off with your Sears Card only. Also, something that could affect our ability to pricematch is their new policy on which internet sites they accept for pricematch. Here is the text: If you find a lower price on an identical branded item...

For those in Dallas still needing one, I saw 3 NYKO S-Video Cables for $0.99 at the Comp USA at Park Lane and US 75 (Central Expy) last night.

I also got in on this deal back in December. It is a great modem when you get it installed. However, I still don't know if it was worth the hassle to save $10 a month from AT&T Broadband. I was offline for 25 days while those brain dead morons changed MAC addresses, etc. It was the most...

My local Wal-Mart had a few games still available. Most were still $20-30, but I found "The New Tetris" for $4.84. Not the best game in the world, but you Tetris junkies out there would enjoy it.

Hey all...saw a thread on FW that Toys-R-Us.com (aka Amazon.com) is having free shipping on all of their video games and accessories. Their prices are not all that hot, but some are equal to other places listed and it sure is convenient. Also, don't know if any of the amazon coupons still...

Went by one of my local Sams and they had a beat up box with one controller, no games or VMU, and wanted $106.00 for it. I think I will try after the holidays and see if the manager will regain his senses and maybe sell it to me for $20-$30 after I show him the MSRP.

Went to Best Buy last night and they had gotten in an accessory pack from InterAct that had an aftermarket controller (several different colors), rumble pack and memory card for $19.99. Not great prices considering they aren't Sega brand, but would compare to about $35 if bought separately...

<< But why do I forsee this conversation taking place?: beloved patriot's Wife: Another box from Dell?! WTF?! Wait, there's two boxes from dell?! What have you ordered now from those *^$!@ hot deals forums?! beloved patriot: But Honey, It's a speaker set that is much better than the set we have now and...

mithrandir2001 -- It is a store by store thing. I went to the Sears at Collin Creek Mall in Plano yesterday and they did not have the 50% off sign. Their prices were ringing up $14.99 to $29.99. I am going to go back by today and see if they will give it to me at 50% off since the store down...

All -- Went to Sears last night and they had a sign for 50% off the games. They had titles like Shenmue, SeaMan, Ecco, Sonic Adventure and lots of others. Two rang up for $19.97 and the other rang up for $19.99. The checker than applied a credit for 50% off. Unfortunately I can't email from...

Hey guys, you can use the Best Buy $5 off coupon. The brochure talks about not having the X-Box, and the cashier tried to tell me it was only for X-Box games and accessories. However, after I very politely asked her to read the flyer, she agreed it said "ANY" video game or accessory and she...

Guys...Just went at lunch today and got a few coupons. Took a Dreamcast $19.99 game up to the cashier and she started to tell me that it was for X-Box only. After asking her to read the entire flyer and that it specifically said "any video game or video game accessory over $19.99", she let me...

Atrac is right about CompUSA (or CrapUSA). The markdowns are very sporadic. I went to one store in Dallas last week and got MDK2, Rainbow Six and Test Drive 6 for $9.88 each (with the generic SKU taped over the supplier SKU). Used the buy 2 get 1 free coupon. Then on Saturday morning I went...
