I got my Co-Op direct from EVGA. They were $10.00 cheaper than Newegg. Plus I got Vantage, and Cryostasis free with it.

As you can see from my photo, it was 'only' $530 at Fry's Electronics, w/Cryostasis. I thought that was kinda high ... only paid $499 for the sandwich, and you can just tell when you hold that thing ... it was a very expensive piece of machinery to build.

$600, even w/ a game ... for this version ... is just ridiculous.

Granted, I do like it better than the sandwich, but still ... it's much 'cheaper' seeming in every way. It should cost less, not more.
