Seems like I was very lucky and got one of the last ones at the previous price.

Going from an ATI 1650 256mb to a GTX280 will be quite interesting.

I'll say, I went from a X1650 Pro 256mb to a GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB and the difference was immense. The huge performance delta between the two should be very apparent, I'll tell you that!

Gah!

Knew I should have bought one this morning, hovering "go to checkout" all afternoon so I was! damn you procrastination!

Wow! Just a bit.

You got a sufficient PSU btw?

It's going in a new i7 build.

I bought one earlier at the lower price, dead happy.

I got a Zotac from the shop, luckily I did store collect before I set off so paid £218.

Comes with farcry 2 + 3dm Vantage advanced.

Well mine turned up

I'm a bit happy with what I got...3 sealed BFG OC all with Far Cry 2

Surely you dont need 3 copies of the same game

Also silly question - if Ive already got an 8800GTS G92 I dont need to do any driver cleaning surely? Just install and it should pick up the new GTX280?

ps3ud0 :cool:

Well those that dont want to pay the new price, just htink of all the 4870s that are going to be on the MM at a cheaper price.

You dont need that many, spare some game ?

Down to last 6. Countdown...

aob · 24 Jan 2009 at 17:26

Well I caved in and just ordered myself one!

jigger · 24 Jan 2009 at 17:30

Was going to order one, but not knowing what ill get and the £23 price increase are putting me off a little.

Why has the price of the last few gone up ? it's really cheesed me off i want one ! but dont want to pay $%&*head tax.

DeathTyrant · 24 Jan 2009 at 17:46

Dude, don't see it like that. The cheapest alternative I have seen from a reputable site (at least that I know) is £261.37.
