*Now Dead* PNY 6800 GT $329 @ Amazon ($379 - $50 promotional certificate)

Just opened the box and made sure it's the GT. Woohoo! This card looks so pretty! (and much heavier than my current 9800Pro)

Thansk again to the OP.

No problem - I'm happy for everyone that got in on it. I found this deal when I was first starting to look for the GT, but hadn't realized how hard they would be to get. Of course by the time I discovered the rarity of this card, it was way too late.

Oh well. I'm still excited about my 2001fp (should arrive tomorrow).

[lopri]

No I did free shipping (UPS Ground) and the EST. arrival date was 8/2-8/3. Surprisingly it was shipped next day and arrived in 2 days!
Gotta love Amazon.

[StuffedMonkey]

My card was supposed to ship yesterday (July 29), but didn't. I sent an email today concerning the status and they first said they would upgrade shipping, but then CANCELLED the order! WTF?? I then called them up and the reply was that they cancelled the order b/c they wouldn't be getting any more cards. Yeah, right....... More like they didn't want to honor the price I was supposed to get it for ($378.95).

I'm surprised Amazon would stoop to this level like some of the other online retailers. Has anyone else ran into this problem? If you're still waiting for your card from Amazon, then DON'T ask about the shipping status and hope you slip by!

Well considering the shipping estimate on my order is 9/23, I'm not holding my breath.
