X800XL $299? When? WTH

I've noticed a lot of sites are showing X800XL in stock but are charging anywhere from $379 to $500+ for a card that's supposed to be $299. Who on earth pays $500 for a video card that is supposed to be $300? The prices wouldn't be this high if nobody was willing to pay...
 
"The X800XL will be selling for MSRP soon, maybe even by Christmas!"

Seriously though, I think you may expect to see MSRP for the card sometime around April, but that's just a guess. The rest of the X800 series has been out for months now and some of the cards still aren't selling for MSRP.

Then I guess consumers think its worth it.... I thought paying a hundred extra for each of my 6800s was worth it, but I am one of those people who needs stuff yesterday. Paying a "little" extra to ensure that I get something thats considered hard-to-find is well worth it, especially when i could be affecting your online gaming ratios. 🙂
 
What does a PCI-E 6800GT cost? That's it's competition. At Newegg the X800XL is considerably cheaper.
 
So why is the biggest story of the year - lack of cards for sale at announced prices? I thought I would upgrade to pcie at christmas, but still little available except at inflated prices. Maybe agp will never go away.
 
If this won't go down to $300 by the end of the month, I may either choose to hold off building for a while and just get Venice or just go with a 6600GT. I hope this will this drop, damn.
