BEST DEAL for 3870 - $209.99 (Click Here)

Rebate $20 off 3870 & 3850 from Fry's: http://image.ak.outpost.com/ar..._pdf/5449449.11508.pdf

I am not sure if that rebate applies only to the Fry's site. Either way I guess you can get a 3850 for $159.99! Happy Hunting. =)

pre-order is the same thing as out of stock. I haven't seen that rebate elsewhere, but that's a good deal if true. I must admit that it seems odd that frys would have a rebate on an item that nobody has in stock, however.

edit: in fact, check out diamond's web site. no mention of a rebate, either: http://www.diamondmm.com/3870PE4512.php

it is weird...but i DON'T think it is fake. if i was going to buy a card right now i would get the 3870 from Frys, if i didn't get the 8800GT for only $250.

Hey I typed in 3850 in frys search engine and it comes up for $229 and in stock,whats the deal with that? How come its the same price as the 3870? I think Frys is trying to pull a fast one unless its a typo which i dont think it is.

frys is trying to pull a fast one... they are also selling a 8800GTS (old kind) for 599$

im thinking of getting this card with the rebate. i plan to play games with a 24" westinghouse, processor(undecided, but most likely E6750, then upgrade to a penryn in a year), 2 gb of crucial ram(upgrading to 4 gb later), hows it look?
