  • First price drops!

    At least it seems like the price in germany isn't as high as aspected. The well known store Mindfactory (also available in english, just click the button) has the bulk version listed for 439€ (430 US-$) and the retail card for 469€ (459 US-$), that would be about 80€ cheaper than the official price!
    The downside is that last year they listed the Radeon 8500 first for 580 DM ("old" german money, 290 US-$) and when it was actually available they had it for 650 DM (325 US-$). And currently the status of the P. is "ordered" but the release date is still "unknown"

    Maybe the streetprices will go down in the US or Canada too. When they hold this price, a Ti 4600 in a cheaper variant (MSI) would be "only" 70€ cheaper

    Nothing new to me. I have seen it even cheaper:

    419€ Bulk and 459€ Retail
    I really start thinking if I should cancel my order and buy the Retail.

      Oh... didn't noticed that. Anyways, it is good to see that the Parhelia is really going to be a bit cheaper than I thought, I wish I could preorder it from one of the sites

        What made you think it was going to be high? Matrox said €445.80 EUR for the retail version.

        By the time its shipping I expect you'll get it for less.
