Did a quick search and didn't see this so....

Got an email this morning from Microcenter offering the ATi All in Wonder x800 xl for $129.99. They're offering it at this price because of the pricing error on the ATi x1900 GPU a while back.

Anyways, if you received this email you're eligible for this discounted price.


Here's the email I got:


Dear MCOL customers:

Many of you received the email attached below regarding the
typographical pricing error relating to the ATI AIW x1900 video card. In the
email attached below, we offered to you the ATI AIW x800xl card, an
alternative product, at a significant discount from its market retail price.
We are happy to inform you that we have now obtained a lower price for
the ATI AIW x800xl video card ($129.99). This offer, the ATI AIW x800xl
card retail price at $129.99, is only open to recipients of this email
for a two week period ending on May 31, 2006. For customers who opted
to purchase this product at the price stated in the attached email
below, we will refund any portion of your purchase price in excess of
$129.99. Prior to June 1st, this offer will not be offered in our retail
stores nor will it be posted to our Micro Center Website.

This offer shall be limited to one ATI AIW x800xl video card per
customer/email address. Due to the $129.99 price, the current manufacturers
rebate will not apply to this offer/purchase.

If you would like to purchase the ATI AIW x800xl card for the retail
price $129.99, please call our Customer Service department at
1-800-634-3478 between the hours of 10:00 am to 7:00 pm EST. Monday through Friday
and 10:00 am to 6:00 pm Saturday. If our inventory of this product is
not exhausted during this two week period, then the stated purchase
price will be posted to our Micro Center Website and will be available in
our Micro Center Retail Stores.

Once again we would like to apologize for this situation and your
inconvenience. We hope that you will continue to do business with Micro
Center in the future and we have the opportunity to serve you.

Respectfully,

Customer Service

Dear MCOL customer:

We would first like to thank you for your e-mail and to apologize for
this situation. As our customers have been the most critical part in our
business success today, we cannot begin to express how disappointed we
are that this situation has happened.

Unfortunately, on May 4, the ATI AIW x1900 video card was incorrectly
priced. When the price was keyed, we inadvertently typed the price
$149.99 when it has should have been $449.99 (the current retail price).
This price took effect at 12:00 A.M. eastern time on May 4, 2006. This
error was not caught until later that morning. Micro Center honored the
mistaken price until inventory was fully depleted.

The period of time between your first notification and the cancellation
was due to associates trying to source product and find a solution for
our customers. We are unable to obtain the ATI x1900 card at this
time.

Micro Center has offered the ATI AIW x800xl card, an alternative
product, at a significant discount from its market retail price. The ATI AIW
x800xl card was a predecessor to the ATI x1900 card. We would like to
reassure you that this video card is an excellent buy.

Once again we would like to apologize for this situation and your
inconvenience. We hope that you will continue to do business with Micro
Center in the future and we have the opportunity to serve you.

hmmmm......did you call in to complain when you tried to order the x1900? just curious as i put in the order at the time and it came back saying it was out of stock or what not.


i haven't gotten this email yet, but maybe it's because i didnt' complain about it. i knew it was the wrong price like everyone else and thought woudl try and see what happens.

Now if only we can get a copy of that $50 rebate.... Since it's an ATi rebate, I don't think they'll deny it. But Microcenter pulled it. Someone has to have a copy of it.

I don't think that'll work. They're not giving codes out in the email, I think they're screening people as they call in and checking to see if that person was on the list from ordering a few weeks ago.

True. They're probably going to verify email address, mailing/billing address, etc.

Care to tell us what info they wanted/verified MustangSVT?

I called them. I guess that number was ONLY for that card. she knew what I was calling about.

she asked for original order number. I told her I deleted that email and didnt have one (which I did). She asked for my last name and verified address. my original order was a store pick up so she had to dbl check if that's ok or not. supervisor oked it, and I gave her my cc info and she said i would receive it in 3 business days :)

Damn... now my bro's card will be faster than mine. great deal!

Just ordered $136 shipped with a very great service from MC.

AIW X800XL Versus AIW X1800XL, any significant different between the two?
