But I'll just take it as having some fun; seems like there's plenty of GTX2series around here in the U.S., problem and main reason why people are not getting it?
1-Economy not so good
2-Summer time, money towards party and beaches
3-Gas to expensive to trade from a G92 to GTX2series
4-Ultimately, no reason at all to go from G92 to GTX2series for those that have the cash to shell out for.

Just like Ford and GM have stopped the truck division from coming out with new models.......go figure!

G92 a huge rip off?

I highly doubt that. I had a G80 and the G80 was the rip off, I paid $575 for the 8800GTX while I just paid $260 for my 9800GTX, yet the 9 series is much better IMO than the 8 series, price and performance. Now? You can get a 9800GTX for $200, certainly not a huge rip off but a great upgrade for someone with a 6 and 7 series card.
Obviously not a good upgrade with those with 8 series cards but.....
I see you bought the 9800 GTX after seeing it perform neck in neck with your 8800 GTX. Congrats, you have been milked by nvidia .. it's okay to feel a bit butthurt.

Again, while it's okay to express skepticism, outright outrage against Alexio is a bit over the top. Especially since if we can do some basic calculations which pretty much back it up.

Everyone should have predicted that a 1.4 billion transistor die would have yield problems. Everyone.
