The 9800 pro is more expensive than the 6800gt at bestbuy. Do they think we're stupid?

Their 128mb 9800 pro's are $250 but it may have gone down to $200 can't remember. That one is 256mb so I guess that version is still selling for $500, it's funny that the AIW version is $200 cheaper though at $300.

Funny how, on that same page, the X800 (I forget pro or XT) is $499 as well.

I bought a 9800 Pro for $500, or was it $400? When they were still fresh. Upgraded 6 months later, now i've a x800 Pro and I got it for $399. Hmm, had it since last October, wow a good 8 months... been pretty damn long. Kind of regret getting the x800 Pro, seeing as how I could have gotten an X800 XL instead.

I got the 9800XT for $500 early last year. Was top of the line then... now I weep. Waiting for this new ATI card to come out and see if it (or the new 7800) is worth the upgrade.
