When it first comes out it will be alot. Also don't buy them until the 2nd 3rd batch are made.

definitely screw buying the first batch. That's for the silly people that just have to have the latest and greatest, which usually ends up being the worst of the production..

I'm from Michigan and I know all about the Monday and Friday cars

I think I remember reading something about the prices being similar to current prices, but I can't remember where I read it or if I actually read it.. damn old age

I would not even look at a Geforce 8 (or any other DX10 card for that matter)until 10-12 months from now since most games will not support DX10 till then (with a few early exceptions).
