This bundle bullshit is getting ridiculous. I noticed MemEx doesn't even have listings for 3080 Tis without a bundle.

I'm not looking to buy a 3000 series atm so It doesn't really affect me, but it sucks to see that the PC market has gotten so shamelssly anti-consumer.

From the sounds of it, the bundling is something that's being pushed by the manufacturers as opposed to by the retail outlets.

Man... These GPUs cost more than my old ass Chevy Optra 2004. Life got expensive all of a sudden...

I can believe that it's partners like Asus, GB, etc making it a requirement, it's still a shitty practice though. It's too bad Nvidia doesn't actually apply some pressure to the partners and say 'if you're requiring bundles, you won't get the chips'. They won't of course.

Just a shitty market overall at the moment.

They literally say its at the request of the manufacturers. I'm not sure they could say that for long if there wasn't at least some truth to it.

You've got to be correct, else a company like EVGA would be all over them saying "LOL WUT, NO."

I don't necessarily mind the bundle idea... but it'd be nice if the bundles were a bit more useful. Pairing with power supplies and the like, not too bad. But pairing with old gen CPUs or motherboards... Yeah... no thanks.

if any of you are on fido and running an older phone like me...they have the LG Velvet 5G certified used for $4/m. that's $96 for a phone that used to retail for $750 CAD and still going for $300 USD on Ebay and the like.

At $320 I'm not sure if this qualifies as "hot" but it's pretty decent as a 43" 4K monitor....

A very good price for a very good set of noise cancelling headphones.
