I was in Fry's this past weekend. They had a number of 8MB Monster II's in that price range, but they were not "new." All looked to be returns or such, since the ones I saw had stickers on them to that effect. "New" ones at the same location were still $249, but they now have a $50 rebate sticker on them (as well as the 12MB models). If you could swing the $129 price AND get the $50 rebate on top of it, that'd be a pretty sweet deal. Lurking Piranha

Patrick, #5 on your list is Monster 3D, not Monster 3D II. Here in NJ I noticed last week Diamond Monster 3DII/12 with gamepack for $249 before mail-in rebate. Y.

Patrick Grinsell said: Look at #5. Now that's interesting. Can anyone verify that Fryes has lowered prices on Monster 2 to obsene levels? Saw it over on the Fool boards. FYI... Fry's in San Diego is selling the 8MB Monster II for $169 which includes a $50 mail in rebate. I didn't think that was dramatic but it did catch my eye. Are they selling off their overstock or just making shelf space for the Banshees? ;-) Regards, Stuart

In response to your question about Fry's Voodoo Prices.I usually go to the Fry's 4 stores in silicon valley once a week to see what's moving and what isn't.You can get a Diamond Monster 3D for 69 dollars after a 30 dollar rebate.There is another Voodoo based card,I don't know the exact manufacture but,it has the word arcade printed on the box in big letters. You can buy that one for 49 dollars after a 30 dollar rebate.I've seen 8 mb Monster 2's go for as low as 129 dollars after a 50 dollar rebate. About 3 to 4 weeks ago you could get a 12 Mb montser 2 for 229 dollars after a 50 dollar rebate but,the price has gone up to 289 - 299 region lately. The last of the Rightious II stuff was out of the stores about 2 weeks ago.The creaf Voodoo 2 8mb and 12mb are going for about 189 and 250 dollars. Creaf had rebate program about 5 or 6 weeks ago for 50 dollars for both boards but it only ran for 2 or 3 weeks.Most of that Creaf stock is burned off now. Most of the Monster 2 especially the 8 Mb, is finally moving.Hope that helps
