Fu*k it AMD!! How dare you rise the price??!!

[xkm1948]

I had just found out at Newegg, that the price for all 3870 went up to $269.


OK, now let's face the situation. AMD's "NATIVE" quad core is a piece of Sh*t compared to Intel's old quad core. And now, AMD makes a new price for all of its 3870 cards: $269!!

3870 has no match with 8800GT. How dare AMD do this? Does this mean that AMD is trying hard to blow its own fat ass up??

Ummm.. Newegg is doing that, AMD has nothing to do with it. It's the normal increase in demand you see with a new product, especially for the holidays.

 

[xbanzai89]

Most due to Stock. The 3850 is still going for 180 dollars. Hopefully once the stock issue is settled with the 8800 GT and 3870 their prices will level out...

 

[cleeve]

AMD has very little control over final price. If a seller wants to add a huge premium over MSRP, how the hell is that AMD's fault?

Seriously, dude.

 

[teh_boxzor]

lol chill.....


thats newegg's price.....


newegg already bought the cards from amd's partners so amd sold it to newegg, not to you. lol. take a chill pill.

 

[DrMaV]

Newegg's ...

 

[yipsl]

Yes, it's rather amusing to see how people blame the card or CPU manufacturers for the prices that supply and demand create.

There are people with quite a bit more money than I have with huge shopping lists who are willing to pay almost anything.

Too bad I don't know anyone like that. I'd love to be on their shopping list.

 

[night_wolf_in]

lol.

buy the card from some shop n not online retail. u might get it at AMD pricing.

 

[paq7512]

lol funny topic

 

[hFIKz]

Hes just young and doesn't know much about business and the aspects of it.

 

[xkm1948]

Oh, I misunderstood it.

 

[joewho]

Dell has the 3870 for $222 in stock. It's a VisionTek

 

[xkm1948]

Whatever, I will wait until the price go back or even lower.

 

[Evilonigiri]

Well at least you learned something new!

Anyways there's no way AMD would try to raise the prices, that would definitely kill themselves

 

[TheGreatGrapeApe]

And thus ends our lesson in supply and demand.

 

[Andrius]

From what I've read they are even thinking of lowering the MSRP by some $20 or so.

 

[ethel]

Just get a 8800GT and be done with it.

 

[rodney_ws]

Ever heard of MSRP? Perhaps you need to look up what the "S" stands for.

 

[Zorg]

Newegg is famous for having their prices gyrate wildly. Up 50% one day down 50% the next. They really need a better algorithm.

 

[itotallybelieveyou]

supply and demand...

 

[Ananan]

Yeah, I think we all get the whole "supply and demand" concept.

But don't blame people for being irked. $200+ is a ton of money for quite a few less fortunate gamers out there. I know several.

So they scrape all the $ they can together and - bam! Retailers raise card prices by over 20% to "maximize profits".

When's the last time these sorts of "supply and demand" shenanigans happened with highly anticipated cards? Did it happen with the Geforce 3? Or the Ati 9700? Or the 6800 GT? Or the 7800 GTX? Or the 8800 series?

Yeah, dude, that's exactly what i feel.

I've just prepared everything ready, but got an unexpected SURPRISING DEAL from newegg on this Black Friday

 

[randomizer]

Darn you Nvidia! Why is the BFG watercooled Ultra $1100?! How dare you do this!

And why is the 3870 $319! AMD, you are about to get a backhand to the right cheek!

[/patronisation]

I blame the politicians, they blame each other anyway. I might as well join in.

 

[jaguarskx]

I blame everyone who wants to buy the same hardware as I do. If it weren't for them demand would drop and so would the prices.

 

[randomizer]

I blame those that don't blame themselves. Wait, that means I blame myself, which means I can't blame myself, which means... oh darn...
