MSRP of 308, retail (newegg) price of 400

Har har har, good thing I don't have to deal with Newegg. Canadians don't seem to like gouging that much. Our 8800GT were on par, if not cheaper than US prices (also because of the trade value I guess)
For the record, like those other special plural words, like 'fish', for graphics cards model numbers, adding an 'S' for plural, I think, should be changed to applying the same rule as one would apply to the word 'fish' where the singular = plural. It takes away from the confusion, especially when one talks about many 8800GT and not the 8800GTS, adding the apostrophe (8800GT's) is not valid because you are applying a possesive attribute, like it belongs to someone or something. Some from now on, it's "There are very few 8800GT available" or "I have two 8800GT in SLI"
However, in verbal discussions, one may add the 'S' in the end, as long as they vocally pluralize it and pronounce the 'S' like a 'Z', so two or more 8800GT in verbal discussions would be "Eighty-eight hundred 'Gee-Teez'" I'm assuming this is already in practice.
