[EPYK]

these cards are cheap in price but the shipping on the dirt cheap ones is like 30 - 40 $$$ compared to the 15$ avg of the 60 - 70 $ cards

[Omega]

now THAT is the definition of HOT HARDWARE DEAL!

=D

[yousuredo]

yup, great deal indeed !
shipping was only $9 ish...for 1 card, $11 and change for three of 'em
I got 3 cards and shipped for $38 and change...
(less than I was about to pay for one $49.99- $10 rebate=$39.99+ shipping)

Just a FYI for those who are intrested...
the web site i found it through is www.dealstudio.com

[yousuredo]

[TheGreatSatan]

I'm still waiting too.

[yousuredo]

I got in touch with them this morning 11:25am eastern time

spoke to a nice guy that informed me that it should ship out today or tommorow...
and that the reason it is taking so long is:
because it is being drop shipped...
so hang in their peeps, should be all good soon enough !

ROFL. Too bad the cards aren't coming... that would have been a sweet deal otherwise.

[yousuredo]

I got a simular email, and it also stated they would give me a $5 credit to my next purchase...

who cares about five dollars when I got to spend three times or more to get the same darn card now...

I have found another site that sells it cheap...but shipping is an outrage !
I will post up later what i find out, once I call them...
