This deal is never going to happen. But what the heck. After several tries I finally got my order to go through. Before they cancel it I can walk around freaking people out my online receipt. :D

its probably just an AIW 2006 edition (X1300) named wrong
I ordered mine just in case they actually ship, I hope it isnt an x1300.

Would be the best damn thing in the world if they did ship 1300s actually.
When we get something not as advertised and have the reciept for what we paid for they would have to honor the price...
I went for in-store pickup :D
Sorta like playing lotto :hehe:

This deal is not going to happen. I would guess they'll cancel it well before the 30 day back order limit is hit. Micro Center is busy right now flogging the poor b@stard that made the mistake and will send out another e-mail soon. Therefore any discussion about the actual hardware is moot. Its just a bit of fun. :D Good luck to those heading to the stores today. With the proper technique someone might score a nice card.
Still does 1400mhz+ easily :)Quote:

I got a phone call from a Micro Center rep and they said that it was a price error. They have fixed it and are currently deciding if they will honor the $149.99 price for all orders placed before the mistake was caught. With some luck they will go in our favor, it seems that not THAT many were ordered so they may honor the price. Another thing that was brought up but only as a maybe was that they would give us extremely discounted price (~250-300) on it for the people that got their orders in.
Thats actually downright nice of them.
They really aren't obligated to honor anything.
Cancelled :shrug:
Still waiting for my cancellation.
FW has pulled the thread - at least I can't find it. SD has as least one confirmed cancellation, might be more but I didn't want to read the entire 68 page thread. But you can here.
mine is in and it is currently on backorder, Im thinking Im getting mine :P
Happy I hopped on this now :)
I don't think anyone will get this the SKU is no longer in their system.
Dammitt..I knew I should dropped in this section more often. I was just about to go to MC the same day as this deal for something else. I guess I snoozed, therefore I loosed :wth:
Just an update: Buckeye25 on the SD site says he works at MC and the web orders will not be honored. I totaly understand MC not wanting to lose their shirts with a mistake. No problem. If you got in on one at the store ... congrats. :D
Edit: 5/9 Just got my cancellation notice. Oh well. Time to move on.
Bumpage in honor of the e-mail from MC cancelling the order. Meh.
I got an email with an offer for a x800xl AIW, I declined. I guess this deal never went through.
Same here , followed with cancelation e-mail.Quote:

We are happy to inform you that we have now obtained a lower price for

for a two week period ending on May 31, 2006. For customers who opted

This offer shall be limited to one ATI AIW x800xl video card per

Dear MCOL customer:
We would first like to thank you for your e-mail and to apologize for
this situation. As our customers have been the most critical part in our
business success today, we cannot begin to express how disappointed we
are that this situation has happened.
Unfortunately, on May 4, the ATI AIW x1900 video card was incorrectly
priced. When the price was keyed, we inadvertently typed the price
$149.99 when it has should have been $449.99 (the current retail price).
This price took effect at 12:00 A.M. eastern time on May 4, 2006. This
error was not caught until later that morning. Micro Center honored the
mistaken price until inventory was fully depleted.
The period of time between your first notification and the cancellation
was due to associates trying to source product and find a solution for
our customers. We are unable to obtain the ATI x1900 card at this
time.
Micro Center has offered the ATI AIW x800xl card, an alternative
product, at a significant discount from its market retail price. The ATI AIW
x800xl card was a predecessor to the ATI x1900 card. We would like to
reassure you that this video card is an excellent buy.
Once again we would like to apologize for this situation and your
inconvenience. We hope that you will continue to do business with Micro
Center in the future and we have the opportunity to serve you.
wow, so some people actually did get it for 150, they honored it until they ran out of x1900 aiw
i got that darn email too. i wonder if its worth it just to get an x800xl for $129. Then again, I don't really have a cheap spare rig to put it in.
Whoever got one of these for $150 and wants to sell them at a higher price for instant profit... please contact me :)
