I swear I saw them for $199 somewhere last week...
At the end of the day, it's unreaslitic to expect UK etailers to be able to pass along the price cuts straight away. After all, it's only feasible to offer goods on sale in the UK if you import a fairly high quantity, and with the much smaller population, they also take longer to clear through their inventory.
Should we declare Mr Blitzen officially bankrupt now then? :lol:
9800GTXs all round then?
The prices won't drop until either new stock comes in at the lower price point or the suppliers of the cards rebate the retailers for their current stock.
Its very very rare that a retailer will do a cut on their own and lose money. This has always been the case.
I'm expecting my 9800GTX Blitzen!!!
