I am thinking MB should put the 4770 on sale, or a better deal if you get two.

an online dealer has several different versions of this card all for cheaper than we can get local. Even with shipping costs.

HINT HINT lol

I'm not worried about how much more MB charges.

What you pay for is good product, service, and the people there will bend over backwards for you.

Until that changes. I personally will remain a customer there.

I'm with you on that Brian!

One can find almost anything cheaper 'somewhere' online; however, when one has a problem or defective device, it sure is handy to have shopped local.

MBC will even look for your old invoice when you know the item is still under warranty; but 'mispaced' the original. Not many etailers will do that for you.

With that said, I do agree if you buy two video cards for a CF/SLI system, then a couple bucks off might be a good incentive.

When I posted that I wasnt in any way shape or form hitting on the service at MB. Nor am I dissatisifed with service I have received in the past. I wasnt entirely serious in the post actually. More or less playing with the thought of a deal on two cards.

With that being said, when you look at cards that are 129 online and 160 local, its hard not to have a second look. A good idea from a consumer standpoint, is a deal when you buy two. It helps MB move more, you are happy with running x-fire and getting a deal.

as aforementioned, its nice to be able to take it in locally to get help then wonder where you're package is if you have to send something back.

only problem is when these huge online stores buy in massive bulk amounts of product, manufactures give it to them at a better deal, then smaller shops ordering smaller amounts. plus buying local for good service is a smart idea in my opinion, and if their is a defect/warranty issue u get better service for those few extra bucks u spent

True enough.

I am considering selling my two 3870's and doing up two 4770's in x-fire. The reviews online I have found are excellent considering the price.

Only diff is the 4770's that I seen were the dual slot cooler type - however apparently these cards run exceptionally cool.

Don't let our current listed price scare you. We got 8 units in stock 2-3 weeks ago and they all sold in a few days for $138 +tax. When we find more stock we'll update our current list price! Also with a weaker Canadian dollar this week, it's hard to say where it will list at. Between $138 & $160 would be my guess.

All hail BigChief!

The wisest thing I got from Rob at mysterybyte was when I was buying a motherboard and it came with a cooler.
