Funny how people are complaining about ShopBLT in here when someone made a thread here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1806889 and they only got good reviews.

I just bought my 290 the other day for $399 + tax at Akihabara in Japan.
Well..................I just got notification that the second card I ordered will NOT be shipping on time. So either they are allocating cards to 1 per person or they did not get as many as they were expecting and have orders for. So that is good and bad news. If the cards are being allocated by AMAZON then it is bad news for those of us that just want to run crossfire for our high resolution gaming. It is also bad news for those that are mining. Good news for those just that want a single card and the allocation shows that Amazon is trying to do the right thing by stretching the inventory to let everybody have a shot at getting the card.
If they are NOT allocating then it just shows the high demand.(which we already knew). Had I purchased them both at the same time rather than 4 days apart I would have the real answer.

Even comes with CoD: Ghosts for free....for the PS3
Odd choice but I'm just going to sell it and make it an even cheaper buy
Really sucks though. I'd planned to get two 290x's for MSRP. But the value is just not there at the current prices. Honestly looks like I'll be forced to make my first green team purchase.
Stock 290x for $550 w/ bf4!

Hmmm...maybe I ordered that Asus 290x from ShopBLT at the wrong time??
Too bad its a Powercolor, but I can't believe it hasn't sold out.
It wasn't free shipping and the price went up to $569.Was stated in post #741.

The sale started within the last 3 hours.
Thank goodness your on top of it. Free shipping and newegg pricing can be a ballbuster.
It's the availability thread. He is correct, the price is down $20 now, and still in stock amazingly.
Same here, I just don't understand the pricing.
Has anyone dealt with Powercolor before..RMA...service?
290 Tri-X, $499.99 free ship.

9 in-stock at time of posting.
7 in-stock right now.
3.
7 again, huh?
3 again.
SOLD OUT.
In stock on March 7, 2014.
To go along with all the price gouging on video cards, I can't even get my hands on a decent 1200+ power supply without it being 150 bucks over MSRP.
