I saw this on [H]

Well, I guess I'm not going to put my barely used card up for sale for $130 at the moment! :laugh:

I haven't noticed how Blue-Ray drives are getting cheap!

johnnyfiive · May 30, 2008

Damn. Too bad I already have two of them. Wait... Now I could have three of them.....
eh, I'm broke.

Memorial day sale - Frys had Lite-on Blu-ray drive for $110 after instant discount. Missed it. Damn it. :banghead:

Why do i get the feeling that the best buys in Canada will not be giving the same deal

cdawall · May 30, 2008

wow....

Silverel · May 30, 2008

Must be a new round of cards coming out soon, eh?

Megasty · May 30, 2008

Yeah, just a few. BB usually does this a few times right before the new cards come out - then it takes them a month to get the new ones in stock :rolleyes:

suraswami · May 30, 2008

Is it any better than my favorite brand HIS?

I have both of them. The coolers perform virtually the same. As for the OC, the HIS highest OC was at 916/1393 while the VisionTek was at 912/1388 so that's statistically the same as well - based on a .05 differential

Silverel · May 30, 2008

HIS one comes with the Black Box though... Not to mention you won't have to support BB going that route either. All the stuff they'll rip you of on is not absolved by a sweet deal once a month, imo.

That drive is very good I might add as I purchased it a shade over 2 weeks ago and it runs excellently. Now I finally have all of the formats available to play on my pc (hd dvd, blu-ray, and dvd). I still like the 'look' of hd dvd better because there is just something about it that gets me going, but blu-ray is damn pretty as well. I picked it up from an Office Max nearby for more but it was worth it and about $15 cheaper than newegg with shipping (overnight...sry I'm weird when it comes to shipping).

I'm REALLY thinking about picking up a second 3870 this week from bestbuy as I was eyeing it when they had it at $179 which is $5 cheaper than online at newegg. Strange...bestbuy is known for overcharging extremely and this card keeps fluctuating in price (started at $249, then 179, then 249, then 199, back to 179, and now 129).

I think I just might go ahead and do this as the only other thing I'll need is a proper sound card (still using onboard though it's very good).

Ya best buys pricing because of their buying power is so good. A friend of mines older sister is a regional HR manager, I should hit her up for a few things here.

mrw1986 · Jun 1, 2008

Best Buy discount is more than that for those cards, I know for a fact.

Bytor · Jun 1, 2008

Just picked up my 3rd Visiontek 3870 @ Best Buy for $129.

suraswami · Jun 1, 2008

Ordered it over the phone this morning. Going to the store to pick it up. Lets see how it performs.

Hey cda - Phenom or X2 6000 - does BB beat Frys on the price. No one can beat Frys man.
