    Microcenter price gouging on GTX 680's now

    http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0388010

    Everyone else is still selling them for $499-509 online and in store. Do they really think people are going to pay $90 over the regular retail price for a galaxy made one?

    http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0388006

    They still have the evga one listed for $509 with a much better warranty.

    Everyone else is "still selling them for $499" or still listing them for $499?

    It is easy for these vendors to promise a low price when they don't have any in stock.

    plus microcenter rarely has good deals on video cards, they are always cheapest on CPUs, and their bundle prices help you save a lot on motherboards.

    Lol not yet... I had another offer for 400 cash, but that's a little lower than I'd like... Most are still selling ~450-500 on Ebay used even.
