Reno, NV area are all out. I called in to check the serials (yes, I'm that gutsy) and the guy I talked to actually knew why I was checking, so apparantly someone already got them. I did pick up one, serial 180342X..., was just a damn 9600SE. 🙁

If anyone is interested, I checked the BB in both Carson City and Reno, and both had the 180340xxx range cards, so don't waste your time. I also checked the Reno CrapUSA and came up with the same range, and CC didn't have the 9600SE at all...

I don't think they ever had any... Looking throught the posts, most of these were found in the Eastern US.... few if any were found in the West

F%$#, another ATer in Reno/CC. That kills my monopoly. 😛

Well I'm heading to Phoenix for the weekend. Maybe I'll find some there.

Heh.... not much to fear, I am about 3 hours south of you... and with the snows coming, my having to commute part way by snowmobile will curtail even further my trips into Reno... :disgust:
 
No joy in Macon, GA. I wanted to use my 10% off coupon, but that's ok, I don't need to spend any money right now.

A co-worker said he checked earlier in the week and there was one 9800 Pro, but he didn't buy it.

Maybe next time or on BLack Friday...

Thanks for the HOT DEAL!! They just opened my local BB today (it has the brand-new-Best-Buy-smell), so I went to visit hoping I could score a deal. Out of the 15 or so on the shelf, two had the magic SNs. I grabbed one and left the other in the back. Checked the contents and found the Pro sticker on the back. 😀

If you're in central Virginia (Charlottesville to be exact), give it a try.. there's one left on the shelf.

lol.. from Reno here as well, but I never usually catch on to the good deals 😛
I checked BB twice this week, but saw the same 180340xxx cards 🙁

 
I picked one of these up, but just read an article about the 9600 XT's hitting the streets at less than $190. Reviews show the stock 9600 XT is about 20% faster than the 9600 Pro, and it is very overclockable (new 0.13u die process).

Does that make this deal a bit luke warm?

With the 10% coupon this weekend, the 9600Pro in SE box is $117, or 62% lower than the 9600XT. It is hot unless you must have an XT, or 9800.

Meridian Mall, Michigan State Best Buy has a couple but not what we are looking for. They appear to be getting in new ones but people are buying them pretty fast.
