Where's the Labor Day x800 sales?

[jb20thae]

Man, where are all the video card sales? You'd think with ATI's new release approaching and it being a holiday there'd be some deals out there. Please don't link to the 179 refurbished x800 pros.... we want the x800xl deals back!!!

tiger direct had a x800xl for $229.....i was under the impression that this was a damn good price.

(not american btw)

look on newegg, i know powercolor or ati might have one soon.

Been looking for weeks and haven't seen any anywhere close to the 229 deals. I'll prob just wait til this next gen comes out (r520 or whatever it is).

Ya, anything more than ~$250 max on a video card is a waste of money as far as I am concerned. I'll take an 800xl and a dishwasher (or tivo or second flat panel or whatever) over a 7800xgtoc any day.

If you worked at best buy or know someone who works at best buy, you could get an X800 XL for $179 😛

I hope you replaced a really old card with it and moved to pci-e at the same time. Why not spend the extra 100 and get a 7800? 🙂

xl for $179? Do employees get a %20 discount or something?

I would have bought one of those BB $229 units a couple weeks ago.

I paid 344 for the 7800Gt loving every frame 🙂
