Radeon 8500 128MB DDR AGP Video Card RETAIL $129

[jayger]

Available at CompUSA for $199.99 - $70 Instant Savings (no rebate required!) = 129.99 (SKU 290812). Sold out on-line, but available all over the San Francisco Bay Area B&M (South Bay). Called Fry's Electronics to do a price match, but they quoted a price of $129 before I could even mention CompUSA's price. I'm running out the door to grab one. They have 12 available in Campbell, CA as of this writing. SKU 3286641.

Good luck,

Thanks for the link. I did a search for Radeon 8500 and didn't see a post. Sorry for the re-post. I just got back from getting the card for $129 at Fry's.

I called CompUSA and they had sold the only 12 they had so I call CC and they had one so I PM'd it plus 10% for a sweet deal of $122.98

i think the stuff in the frys ad on monday was only a labor day sale thing. i went today and didnt see the radeon 8500 (not even an empty shelf) and i didnt see the msi geforce4 ti4400 for 199 . it was at 249.

There are a few of them in Sunnyvale store. I got one that was previously open box. Didn't notice the sticker. Bleh. Anyways, it works and same warranty, so I am happy
It came with half-life disk too.

Halflife's Uplink is a single player mission. The graphics do look much better optimized for Truform than the game on my old Radeon 64.

Nice!

Good deal from a retail B&M.

[fengpc]

It was 8500 (non LE) but it's not on sale anymore in Fry's.

 

[Johnbear007]

so this deal is dead?

 

[Jedd]

Hmm... I can see it online, but I can't find any $70 instant saving. Where it was?

Deal ended a week ago
