Buy.com

Warm because it is pre-order with no expected arrival date listed.

Hot for me because I got a 10% off email today and I can wait for this card to arrive.


Buy.com has never done me wrong before.

**UPDATE**

Just checked my status and says it shipped on the 22nd.

Maybe this is a good sign.

I know this is straigt up wrong, but maybe by some miracle, they are trying to make up for the shortages by lowering prices early......Naaaahh.

One of those emails that say "We've noticed that you have not shopped at Buy.com in a
while, and we miss you!"

Although the only time I shop there is when I have an email like this, and come to think of it my last one was a week ago. When I bought my wife a MS Groovy Mouse...

there are a couple of coupons out there like the one i used 15$ off $200.00 or more computer related products do a search on the web for it!

Also please note that I have a outstanding order since 12-2002 for some memory, it never was sent nor did i pay for it , but it still shows an invoice, if they don't have it you might not ever!!! get it. just a thought to any doubters out there! I think there service might be terrible, my only experiance was never recieving the product LOL

This is kinda tempting...the $15 off $200 could cover tax or shipping. Its a good price, but do not think I can spend $300+ on a video card. It would go nice with the A64 deal....

This is nice, I also got a 10% off coupon in my e-mail today. Very tempting, but I so hate PNY :( How is their 2D quality? I already know their support sucks, but 6800 GT for $300 is so tempting.

[EDIT]
Btw, I still wasn't able to find an answer if this card is dual-dvi or not? Shows dual-dvi on pny.com, but that could be just a wrong picture...

PNY's got the same picture for all their 6800 cards (Ultra, GT and non-ultra).

From what it looks like, the picture is of their 6800 Ultra. I really doubt that they've got a GT with dual-DVI.

Hm... has anyone actually used the 10% off coupon? It states that the item must have status "In Stock: Usually Ships in 1 to 2 business days." But 6800 GT is "On Order" so I would think that this coupon doesn't work? yet?

Yes I went ahead and ordered it with the coupon. Totals $303.36 after $6.37 shipping and handling.

Order status says "sent to wharehouse". Nowhere in my email or on the site did it red flag for "On order" status.

Crap! I'd be on this deal if only I got a coupon like some other ppl! I've ordered at buy.com but not for a while, so you'd think I'd be eligible@

You have to get the email to get the extra discount, all in all though at $330 it is still a good deal, if it is going to ship soon.

Ya kinda gotta be careful with them. I ordered a wifi card from them and cancelled after a couple of weeks since I found it elsewhere. Three months later they sent it to me and charged my card. Gotta watch 'em.

Thanks for posting this woodscomp. I had decided to wait a couple of months for ~$350 price, so I went for it. I just hope it's not a two-week wait. Then again, I was planning to wait anyway. :)
