Actually referring to what LooseNut said in a post today I also think that
the fact that "shops will stop carrying the X800" is complete crap.
Right now you can get a Gecube X800 for $699 from certain online retailers
and I've heard rumours that they could be down to $650 within 2 weeks or
when the XT arrives in stock.
The Sapphire is the most expensive right now at over $800 with Powercolour
being around $730. But most online retailers didn't get enough stock with
the first set and so have mostly completely sold out but most are receiving
more by the end of the week.
