Did he contact XFX and ask them if he could trade his working 8800 Ultra in for another GTX 260 since he couldn't SLI them anymore? Only a fool would argue that this guy got the short end of the stick on this deal. XFX sent him a better card (not worth more, but faster by about 30%). If XFX is willing to send him one GTX 260, surely he could have traded his other 8800 Ultra for a SECOND GTX 260. It's mind blowing, right?
No... he didn't think that far ahead. I can almost guarantee they would have done that for him just to keep a customer happy. He would have had a better pair of cards because of it. Instead, he "settled" for $585, which wasn't even close to worth the price of a brand new single 8800 Ultra. What does he have to show for it? An inflated ego because he "stuck it to the man" when in fact, the man is A LOT smarter than this guy will ever be. Probably why they could afford to send him a BETTER card than what he sent in originally.
Yea.... he won big for sure. Sounds like a massive waste of time if you ask me.
Don't credit this guy with being a proper citizen. He exploited the legal system for his 15 seconds of fame. This doesn't help anyone, and it certainly does not help any of us.
