Are they the same in performance?

most 7900 series cards are better than anything under 8800 level

I got my confirmation for the GTX (7900) - went for in store pick up but...

I'm not counting on getting the card - will make a nice stop gap though

Yes. They have a chain of B&M stores. I believe this chain is also behind the "ClubIT.com" site.

Somebody on slickdeals called PC Club, and they were told that those who are still pending are being cancelled as they do not have stock.

So basically they data mined... Bastards. Same issue... No cancelleation email though, just the order dissapeared. That is poor customer service. The least they can do is send me an email with an explanation.

I got the same email about an hour ago. Anybody else pay with paypal ? Email says "Rest assured that your credit card or Paypal account will not be charged for this transaction". Well the money has left my paypal (is complete), and i'm down nearly $200 that i will now put towards a 8800gt when they refund me.

Don't forget the $10 off anything coupon that you receive in the e-mail. Might be good for something!

I haven't received any notification yet although my order has just vanished from their system. I already sent them an email bluntly asking if they just hadn't notified me of cancelling the order yet or if I've been "blown off".

Understand things running out of stock, just not impressed by how it's being handled.
