Radeon 8500 VIVO, not DV?

I was looking for a good deal on a Radeon 8500 and I came across this in a VIVO flavor in a bulk pack. I was looking at the price and it's a damn good deal and it has a pic that looks like the 8500DV but supposedly it's not(no mention to the tv tuner). What are your takes on this? Good deal or not? I haven't dealt with the company before either. I looked at ATI's site and they mention that there is not a VIVO version cause they have the AIW 8500. I don't know what to think or expect.

It's either a typo or false advertising. ATI doesn't make anymore VIVO cards... If they did, I would have already bought it.

If you read the specs, you'll see that there is no mention of video-in anywhere... only video out. This product IS the 8500 DV.

 
hmm there is a couple OEM manufacturers that have a Radeon 8500DV clones! I dont know if they are talking about one of these cards or they just simply made a typo and are offering the 8500DV for a very very very sweet deal!
 
IMO, it is probably a typo(sounds like they are describing a regular 8500) with an incorrect picture(it is the DV in the picture) also. They have PC2700 memory listed as PC2600 memory. 😕

Damn, that's too bad, I was hoping that it was legit. It would be a wickedly sweet deal. It's still not too bad of a deal even for an 8500 retail(if that is what it actually is, but I have my doubts to this as well). Thanx for the opinions.
