Shouldn't the title spell Sapphire 4870 X2 retail version pictures ?. Thanks for the pictures the box looks slightly different from the 3870 X2 retail. Canada Computers will sell this version and the Asus version , but I'm gonna look into getting the Sapphire model first.

To be honest this design looks more aesthetically pleasing than the Asus "flower power girly" designs.
