stso, I'm not sure who you talked to, but I got this deal from Staples at around 2:00 CST. My brother also ended up doing it, since we have 2 systems. I think it's a nice deal - great sound card setup for $85 shipped. Anyway, maybe they're sold out, but we did it earlier. Of course, we're in Dallas, not sure if that makes any difference, but just thought I'd let you know. Thanks xyyz.
