Id rather have $2400 USD in cold cash or a rig worth $2400.

Doesn't match up with...

Buy any qualifying NVIDIA® GeForce® 9600 GT, NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT, NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+, or NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 graphics card and get a coupon code good for one FREE digital download of the complete World of Warcraft Classic.
 
That doesnt sound like it amounts to $2400. They shouldnt have a pre qualifier.
 
oh yay

more contests relating to WoW!

/sarcasm
 
I don't think they should have people join WoW just to try and win...pretty ridiculous I think.
 
which gives two prizes.

:) (Thanks for the no thanks, W1z! *sour face*)

Also, I think this is bogus considering all they're trying to do is sell off their old stock. You don't see any expensive cards in there do you?

I think the bigger part of it is that margins on G92 products are likely pretty cushy. For all we know, the GT200 (and it's cousin the GT200b) may very well be losing them money to this day, depending on how yields have shaped up over time.
 
Personally I think WOW is a huge waste of time, but my neighbor is crazy for it. Thanks for the post, il pass it along to him.

Pretty cool than a purchase isant necessary, thanks malware

Or maybe they're to be the next generation's middle-range cards.

I fixed it, W1zz went on to fix something else after, hence he is shown as the last to edit.

I didnt thank you, because I spotted it before i read the comments. Thanks anyway tho. :toast:

Ah, then you're the jerk, and you deserve my sour face!

Sorry, W1zz!
 
World of Warcraft Classic

Common, this is fail, they realy should have used WotLK!
 
Plain stupid, why not give him a free account?

Yeah I'm confused. WoW classic would be retarded, because they have 2 more expansions...

Unless the article means Warcraft battle chest including WC1,2, and 3+TFT or something? :confused:
