yeah, the price is crappy.
i just looked at the message below mine and saw someone selling some for $210.
i don't mess with 6xxx series, since the hashing rates are similar and they (generally) cost more than the 5xxx
they've been even cheaper than that though,
i see on slickdeals they had some for $139 with that (near worthless) dirt coupon
ed:
i've never used tiger direct, so not sure if those are free shipping or not
but there's some @ $155 on newegg also
