Bestbuy is running a special on the BFG 6800 OC, which is an overclocked Geforce 6800. They are offering the card plus HAlf Life2 and Far Cry for $249 after $105 rebate. However, over at fatwallet, the say that Bestbuy is also taking an extra 10% off the price automatically when it rings up (bringing it down to $225 after rebate).

My eyes are red I am sure from reading that huge ass thread at Fat Wallet. I was about to pick up this card at my local BB (don't have Far Cry or HL2 and want both), until I started reading.
Apparently the 6800 series cards have a hardware fault in some aspects of the video processing. Should not affect gaming, but since I do some video editing, and will one day have an HTPC, this completely bummed me out.
Ah well, guess I will wait for the 6600's to come down in price.

Is it Doom3 (title) or HL2 (post)?

Far Cry comes in vid card box, you buy HL2 to get the discount. Doom 3 not involved with this deal.
And fyi, many have reported using a $20 off $200 coupon for BB that makes this deal even better ($20 coupon has worked in conjunction w10% off for some).
Amazing...I am reconsidering...borked video h/w processing be damned!!
