It's funny people complain about this price, I see the same thing if I go to WalMart, a DL DVD burner that I can get for $60 on New Egg costs $90 at WalMart. I won't buy it there, but hey there are bunches of them sold every day so it is worth it to someone.

Yet another reason I told everyone I know not to upgrade their motherboard to one that supports PCI-Express yet... if you want a high end video card you MUST pay out the ass for it.

Is X800XL availability really that bad? Down here in Australia there are X850s popping up all over the place (at, or close to, MSRP), but I have yet to see a single X800XL at all.

100 bucks cheaper all of a sudden:p

and the x850's are much easier to find here for some reason :Q

unfortunatly the x800xls arnet :( Though aTI did say "we ramped up product on the x800xl cores" I kind of doubt it seeing as nothing is out
