So i'm basically renting a card tomorrow.

biscuitownz · Nov 15, 2009, 12:18 AM

I'm gonna pick up a 9800gt for $109 off the shelf tomorrow at Fry's. I'm gonna use it for 3-4 weeks and return it. I need to play my games

I might get a 250gts just for the hell of it.

YAYY!!! it's gonna feel good to run on pure power again

Sweetz · Nov 15, 2009, 01:23 AM

Doing this with intent is criminal behavior.

It's OK though, as long as it's an Nvidia card.... They don't have much for morals either.

Zetsumei · Nov 15, 2009, 08:26 AM

I got myself a used 9800gt for 50. For the 1 month of delay for waiting for my 5850. And now i got my 5850 i use it for dedicated PhysX.

Debello · Nov 15, 2009, 08:35 AM

Why would you pay for sex with an ugly hooker, when you can pay a little bit more and get one with out a STD? When you are just going to "Grand Theft Auto" her and get your money back.

Bires · Nov 15, 2009, 08:52 AM

There are some great last-generation cards for sale in the R3D forums.

Surely you can afford $50-70?

biscuitownz · Nov 15, 2009, 11:19 AM

Thought about it last night and I'm just gonna get the 250 later today.

I think it's pretty stupid people abuse such policies. I'd love to have such a user-friendly service here in mexico where I could potentially return anything I wanted.

caveman-jim · Nov 16, 2009, 12:44 PM

Isn't there a 15 day / 15% return fee for PC components @ fry's?

Nah, You have 30 days/month to return it. Any longer and you get in store credit.

Serotonin · Nov 16, 2009, 01:48 PM

It wouldn't really be "renting" seeing as you'd be getting all your money back and they'd be getting nothing for letting you use the product.

Then borrowing.

wazman · Nov 16, 2009, 04:02 PM

So then when I come over later and "borrow" your car and girlfriend/wife, that'll be A-OK, right? It's what all the cool kids do, it would seem.

Qb2k5 · Nov 16, 2009, 05:57 PM

Some stores lose money on returns since they have to ship it back even though its in 100% working condition. Then the other stores like Compusa for for example would repackage it, discount it by 7-10% and put it back on the shelf.

Either way its still going to hurt the stores profit.

seastar · Nov 16, 2009, 06:12 PM

You are only going to play your games for 3 to 4 weeks? What's the point? And also since you are being cheap and all what kind of cpu do you have a p4? :P

GanjaStar · Nov 16, 2009, 06:17 PM

Your a teenager and its christmas soon.. write to santa.. don't be a klepto.
