Man, this is pretty ridiculous... I've seen these on sale for a little over 200 bucks back in the summer. I was gonna pick one up, but I guess I'll wait till after Christmas and see if the price returns to it's non-gouged level...

-EDIT- It's back to MSRP on the Amazon page now, but at time of posting it was well over $400.00 US...

That's ridiculous. Got mine there for $240 and still had another $60 mail in rebate on top.
Did they stop production on them, or just far behind?

Nice prices! Wanna trade? It's a steady €260+ price over here, which converts to $340+ US.

If the price on your end went up, I think it might be demand from the GT5 crowd?

I guess the price went back down since I posted. It was over 400 dollars on Amazon last night.

JAMF is right. Attribute it to Gran Turismo 5 sales. I'm serious.

Demand for wheels right now is greater than the available inventory.

I guess that makes sense... Sucks for me though, I was really planning on picking one up nope. Not paying 300+ for one though, I'll just wait it out till supply is back up.

I don't know what is going on ATM at Amazon, but lately, they have been jacking up their prices to obscene levels.

Case in point, the AMD 6970 and 6950 are waaaay over MSRP!

Some head honcho is on drugs at the helm in the pricing department.

WOW! You're right, the reference Sapphire 6970 is selling for $475.00 on Amazon, but it's $369.00 over at Newegg. Price gouging at it's WORST. Sad...
