YES. Oohh *does a dance*

If it drops another €50 in then Netherlands I'll most probably buy one :')

 

[Rastalovich]

Interesting. If u set in buying the most expensive card, why would a price drop in a cheaper card sway u I wonder ?

Price drops are always good imo.

 

[monkey7]

Mwah, I do not want the most expensive nor the best -- just the best one my kind of money can buy without me having to stop eating for it.

I think ATi's going for the value for money again now that nVidia has regained the performance crown.

 

[Rastalovich]

I meant the royal "u".

 

[monkey7]

I know, but I explained anyway ^^ I guess most people think that way, and that ATi will gain some advantage with this. Not everyone can afford the best.

Thats a pretty hefty drop, wonder what it'll treanslate too in UK money.

50p?

 

[monkey7]

Yes probably xD

Might want to import from the us of a when the currency values are right. Most brands have international warranty anyway :/

Yeah that is a good point to make actually, I think that we are going to see very little of the price drop ourselves over here in the UK.

If I had the chance and I knew that my aunt was coming in from the US I'd ask her to bring me one and I'd pay her the cash for it if I had it, although it's very unlikely to happen. Nevermind

 

[monkey7]

Some shops do international shipping :')

I hope at least, haven't looked yet.

Damn, $100 off the MSRP is a pretty major drop...

Shame the price gouging UK etailers never pass these drops on.

ebuyer selling 4870x2's for ~340, its not huge price cut but still something knowing how much tax and fees shops like to put on their products.

PowerColor HD 4870X2 2GB GDDR5 - £339

Sapphire HD 4870X2 2GB GDDR5 - £344

Force3D HD 4870X2 2GB GDDR - £349

 

[sammjj]

hmmmmmmmmmm perhaps a few £100 less, only then i will CONSIDER buying it

 

[monkey7]

Erm. Then it'd be for free Yes I'd certainly buy one. Or two.

 

[sammjj]

Erm. Then it'd be for free

that's the idea

 

[°TheMadDutchDude°]

LOL we all love free stuff

Anyhoo that isn't the point, the point is that over here in the UK we are going to benifit very little if at all from that price drop if you want my opinion.

Makes me laugh... I had my Asus 4870X2 delivered for £341 back in September / October time.
