You still have to pay another £10 for shipping probably, but it's a good price for it however.

Change that to $ and definitely. But that's $250 atm which is very high for it. 1 USD != 1 GBP. <_<

$250 for that is terrible value. The R9 280 is around the same performance (Like really close) and you can get a dual-x for $180-200

THe GTX 960 is terrible value :S

$250 is bad value, I saw an Asus R9 290 for $240 after a MIR and 7% off PROMO* code on Newegg not too long ago.

 

EDIT: Offer is still up.

It's kinda BS not to show the taxes in the price just to make people think they are cheap :) They'll walk in the store and notice the price being like 12% higher than advertised, and they'll just be like hell I drove all this way, might just get it :P

Well not really, the price differs in every state, so they would have to show like 25 prices, if you live in a state with like 12% tax, then you will automatically add 12% in your head

 

For some reason americans find this acceptable

 

Confused me everytime in new york

I remember seeing an MSI 760 Hawk for £180 a couple of months of go, so that IMO is a good price

Remember, we're the same people that gobble things that are $9.99 and then pass on something that's $10 flat. Marketing :D

Tax is also a lot cheaper, I don't know of anywhere that is over 10%

You know what's easier than buying and building a brand new PC? Petty larceny!
If you're worried about getting caught, here's a trick: Only steal one part at a time. Plenty of people will call the cops because somebody stole their computer -- nobody calls the cops because they're "pretty sure the dirty-bathrobe guy from next door jacked my heat sink."

Wow if they can't even list prices inclusive of tax, I ain't going there.

 

What's up with that? As a customer how would I not expect them to tell me exactly how much I have to pay?

 

And I'm not British. I don't need to be British to see it this way, the logical way.
