I saw this deal this morning, I know it may not be the same for everyone but the Fry's in vegas has always had the deals I've seen on this site at the local store.

When I originally saw it this morning I thought it was the GTX 260, Fry's always seems to have video cards overpriced where I live, but even if you don't get/send in for the MIR its still $60 cheaper than the cheapest one at newegg.

Also don't believe I've heard anything about the GTX 280's dropping in price but if you want one I guess this is good right?

Edit: Title is supposed to be after IR+MIR. Oh and sorry about the lateness of the deal, I saw it at about 8:15 am pst but thought it said GTX 260, like I mentioned earlier the Fry's near me has always overcharged for their video cards and assumed that's what it was since its $329+ everywhere else I've seen.

Hmm Fry's link works just fine for me.

Go to frys.com and type in GTX 280 will be the only card to pop up.

Edit: Thanks, changed link in OP.

Is the performance difference really worth it regarding price/performance over the GTX 260? I thought about it but convinced myself not too.

Last week I ran 3Dmark06 on EVGA260 (216), even OCed it gave me like 1200 point less than 2 SLI'ed 8800GTS 320mb (G80)... so I'm not impressed by 260 at all... Definately returning the 260 today and getting 280
