That's not business, that's shady business. If you feel that ethically this is correct then I will say now I disagree with you as much as possible. That's a dirty tactic for offloading garbage to someone else's lap. A desperate sign that shows ati has been doing well in the low end market and nvidia shipments are well below targets.

The only thing that will give retailers incentive to do this is how much they can gouge users because of such low supply. None of this points to a successful generation for nvidia. They will need at least another to recover.
