Thanks for posting man. I don't mean to threadcrap but it really isn't 188.99 shipped. There is a $30 MIR. Still a decent deal with just the coupon though!

according to the SD forums the rebate is wrong and has actually already expired.

Well, that sucks.

But, at the same time, it doesn't, because I didn't bite.

Appreciate the heads-up.

yeah i just found that out after having purchased. Apparently you can fight Newegg for the $30 because their pdf clearly says ending 9/30 twice on it. But even at $215 shipped, a pretty darn good deal to me. sorry for the trouble though

What do you fight? Just tell NEWEGG that you have a MIR that they should honor? Isn't it OCZ that grants the MIR?

I wish rebates are illegal. I've never had one actually work in all the years i've been in computers.

Seriously? I've never had one NOT work. Sucks that my wife misplaced a $140 check from HP once tho...

I ordered a GTS450 from Newegg on 9/17 (rebate 9/17 to 9/19) and they are now putting the SHIP date as the INVOICE date. The rebate wants the INVOICE, which Newegg now has the WRONG DATE on! Looks bad that my invoice has a date of 9/20 on it!!

Sorry, just super pissed at Newegg.....the chat rep was USELESS!

not a thread crap, people need to learn how to post a deal

"shipped" means the cost out pocket to get it shipped.

This deal is $215 shipped, it costs $215 to get it to ship.

Although to be fair to the OP, the original link advertises it as "$188.99 shipped"
