Hogwash. The Microcenter deals came out on Sunday morning. The chips were just announced.
Yes it's true. Checkout the NewEgg video on these chips. i-3 will be coming soon too.
Wants one.
Sales Tax= $15 bucks
Gas Money to Dallas & Back(Nearest Microcenter)= $30ish
Total Cost becomes $10 more than just getting it off of Newegg.
If you live near a Microcenter, this is awesome, though. Also, I f*cking hate you.
