Wait or Buy It Now?

[SubKamran]

Here's a "simple" question

Should I wait to see if I should buy the 9800XT w/ Half-Life 2?

Or should I use my $385 right now and buy the Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9800 pro (128) for $362?

I can buy it today, except if the 9800XT is BETTER than the Pro, I will have wasted money.

wait then you idiot!

Except, if the 9800XT is sucky, I would have waited for nothing.

um...no
Lower price on a 9800

Yah I guess so. Good point...I almost forgot about that reason to wait

You can get an oem 9800 Pro off of mwave.com for $315. Something to think about before spending the $362.

That's what I thought, but I'm wary because it doesn't come with a manual, and I figure I may need one.

If someone knows where to find a 9800 Pro manual, I'll get the $306 OEM version (or if the XT is better, the bundle).

I'll wait...9 days...*sigh* Well, school will make the wait shorter
