They must be nuts! Even CompUSA is showing it's cost much lower at $499.
Why would they have such a high price?

Don't know... perhaps they're hoping all their customers are complete
idiots. I sure hope nobody will buy their XT there - it's a sure way to
empty your wallet (or bank account).

Over here in the Netherlands prices for the X800 XT average at some 550 euro
(approximately $680). That's rather expensive compared to CompUSA's $500,
which equals to approximately 423 euros... I wish the XT would be priced so
low over here in the Netherlands, I'd have bought an XT instead of a Pro.

Sounds like a bargain. Especially as you get "Tomb Raider" with it )

Dunno. They're out of stock anyway, if they ever had stock, and have always
had that price, then thats why they are selling them at that price - 'cos
somebody (or some poeple) got impatient.

My guess is that they did not set a price manually because they didnt know
it yet and the program defaulted to $999.
Strang that other discount online places like Newegg.com list prices about
$90 more than CompUSA. Usually CompUSA cost a bit more, but not for the new
ATI card. They must have some deal with ATI.
