How is it lame? It's cheaper but requires you to print the form, fill it out and mail it. For $20 I'll take the extra 5 minutes.

Kinda lame because a few days ago it was $209 + $17 CA tax = $226.00

Now it's $220, with a $20 MIR = $219 + $18.00 CA tax = $237.00 -$20 MIR = $217.00

Barely save $10, and have to wait 6-8 weeks to recieve the check. Only kinda lame. Had it remained at $209 then the $20MIR on top, I'd be all over it.

You pay more initially, and have to wait 6 to 8 weeks to save about $9 to $10.

Well, the 850XT is $300, and this card is pretty much equal to it, so I guess it's still a good deal.
