i saw the BFG 9600gt at bestbuy today

i went to best buy looking for a new graphics card. i was looking around and i saw the BFG 8800gt for 280$, then i saw the new BFG 9600gt, which i thought wasnt out yet. there was no price on it, so i took it up to the counter. it was 230$!?

for 50$ more i can get the 8800gt

is 50$ more worth the better performence???

and also, the 9600gt price could have been a mistake, because the 8600 was also 230$

Yeah somebody else had also seen it at Bestbuy the other day...I think the price is higher right now because it is brand new.TheGTAvaccine

The price is higher because Best Buy believes its customers to be retarded. I was pretty surprised to see it there, though.

Well, that is true, but it can also be said that most of the population isnt a hardcore pc user/gamer so Best Buy can get away with that kind of stuff.

I've worked there, and I can tell you that is 100% true.

8600 for $230? I feel soooo sorry for the people who buy that.slickchris7777

That 9600GT at BB costs as much as most 8800GT's do online.General_X
