Half-Life 2 coupon is for Single Player only :( ID BE HAPPY :D!!! My Other comp needs a 9800 pro now :D why are you spreading bull**** about the bundled HL2? Listen all "I would wait for the next 6 months... because the 9900 Pro 256 is coming out April 2004 with a software bundle of Half Life 2 for the high end range of the cards..." You do not have to listen to me at all if you want to waste your money then go ahead but, I have been advised by my suppliers to hold off the XT range of the cards and wait until April 2004 because the ATI and the Hercules 9900 Pro are coming out... :woot: Save Money Be sensible and save yourself from :cry: There is nothing worse than buying a card then a better one comes out in the next 6 months and you are :angry: at yourself for buying a card and crying in your lap because you should have just waited just a little longer... don't let the excitement over rule your brain and just wait and be patient... If not then go ahead and by an XT card... but, honestly the difference is not that different from the 9800 Pro 128 card... :whistle: The choice at the end of the day is yours any way... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh i had a Sapphire 9800 Pro 256mb on order for about 1 month, they are in short supply apprantly so today i emailed them and asked if they could cancel that and pre-order me Asus 9800XT 256mb and take the extra ?35.90 out of my account. aww, you can have my Chaintech GeForce4 MX440-SE if you wis:p:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
