I'm wondering how much are they going to be charging more than the regular cards' prices. Having Assasin's Creed included is kinda sweet but then again, what are they giving, COD4 with the normal cards? TBH, I'd take that one and just oc myself if so.

I agree, the 9800GTX doesn't really seem like it's worth the money compared to the 8800GTS 512MB. I'll wait to see what they announce this summer or whenever their next cards come out.

Good plan and I will stick to this 9600gt until they do

The prices for 9800GTX is about the same as 8800GTS 512.

For this reason, i've heard that Nvidia has stopped making any more 8800GTS cards.Also i would wait for the GT200 to come which i think will provide much better performance with their " 1 Billion " transistors.
