Oh man! This is too much.

Another Price cuts?
AMD started massively slashing yet another price reduction again today for ALL AMD chips.
I don't like to call it desperate measurements, but man This 5600+ cost me $329.00 couple days ago.

It sucks when you find out you payed full price for something that would be cheaper just a few days later, but you have to admit that this is fantastic. Six months ago I couldn't fathom affording a dual core processor and now they're cheap as hell. Competition induced price reductions ftw!

niceee like half price off

I'm waiting for Intel to follow suit

A couple days ago?

Then RMA it. Say it stopped working and you want your money back. Then turn around and buy another one after you get your refund.

Brilliant idea. if I do the calculations:

329.00 - 32.90 (Restocking fee) = 296.10

296.10 - 15.00 (Regular Shipping) = 281.10

281.10 - 189.00 (re-buying 5600+ ( Yeah its getting cheaper by the minutes lol))= 92.10

Sitting home by a dummy system with nothing to come home to for weeks? = 92.10

So there I gain nothing. Not to mention repackaging, fuel I need to get to UPS and back, holding calls, listening the 2 minutes long, 30sec interval NewEgg commercial message. I think not, I'll take my loses.

Maybe you can email AMD about it, complain saying you bought this a few days ago and they went and halfed the price. Or try asking NewEGG nicely about it.

overclockers.co.uk will give you money back if you purchase an item and they put it in their 'This week only deals' a few days later.

Good Idea.
Even though (couple of days is actually figure of speech) the actual purchase date was 03/21/2007, which is about 20 days ago. Al try asking NewEgg nicely see what I can do, maybe they'll send me NewEgg tee-shirt or something. lol.

For weeks?? This is Newegg we are talking about. They have the fastest shipping on the planet. At most you would be down under a week. Put that $92 towards a new video card or HDD...

Just wait till AMD comes back with the big gunz.

Anyone know if they'll be cutting the prices on the 939 models too?

Officially 939 has already reached EOL for production as of... what, end of 2006? Some sellers might lower the price although others won't.
Newegg just has dual core Opterons and x2 3800 left plus some single core models.

If you waited until now, you could have gotten a FX-62 for $40 more. I can see why you're probably pissed about it.
