Is there any way to know if BB will ever carry the x800 XL?

[archcommus]

I have $55 in BB gift cards and have nothing to spend them on. This summer I will be upgrading so I figured I could maybe buy my video card at BB instead of online and use them for that. I will also be an employee of BB soon and will have another employee discount on top of that. However, everything below the x800 XL is not enough of an upgrade for me, and x800 Pros and 6800GTs are $400 at BB. $400 - $55 - discount would bring me back to the price of a regular x800 XL online, so I would be saving no money, but be getting a better card for the same amount. I'd rather save the money instead. If a $300 XL existed at BB, $300 - $55 - (maybe?) 10% discount = $215! :Q

So is there any way to know if they'll ever carry it?

Interesting, but will need PCI-E when I upgrade.

So them not having it online is not an indication of whether they have it in the store or not?

Wow, you're right! The search term "x800" brings up neither. How fvckin stupid. Why bother putting a search box if it doesn't work.

And only $299, awesome! Is there any chance it won't still be around by June? I should be able to snag this for $215.
