They're both 8800GT's. Shouldn't be anything in it.

So if I were to buy the one from newegg, it'd be basically the same thing? If so, why the huge price difference?

Yes, exactly the same. The reason is Best Buy is counting on the buyer to not know any better. They make their money screwing you out of yours.

You might get a slight increase in fps from the BB one because its Overclocked, but that doesn't justify the $70. The one from newegg is definitely the better buy, best buy just rips you off.

Yea BB is a rip, paid $237 during the craze of last year for that exact same card.

Also check this out, 9800 GT with COD4 for $110: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150316

I have a NX8800 GTS and playing games like Asassins Creed is very smooth and beautiful looking.
