XFX Black edition 5850 in stock @ Newegg

@$360, it may be better to pay another $50 and wait for a HD5870 or
Best Buy had some listed at $289.00!
 
So disappointing. These puppies are already $100 over the original MSRP. :eek:
 
Still there...looks like people are not going to pay these prices.
 
I jumped on the Black edition, only because I'm in dire need of a video card. Since 191.07 killed my 8800GT, I am unable to game so I jumped when I was able to order a 5850. Oh well... normally I would have held out for one of the ones that was "only" $309.
 
I ordered this card, just got my order confirmation though, and it's not listed and I was not charged for it... Sigh...

Whats disappoointing is TSMC/nVidia is to partly blame with NO COMPETITION before the holidays. Nah, I take that back, its all Nviidia' fault. If they built a smaller, more efficient chip there would be competition, not this damn chip that needs a nuclear reactor that its named for.;)

Dammit.. Newegg didn't ship my card out yesterday. Another day of delays before I can go back to playing games. (My 8800GT has been 191.07'd and can't run games currently).
