Why is the 6800 only $50 less than the 6800XT?!?

lostn on [Pre Order] MSI Radeon RX 6800 XT 16GB Graphics Card $1069 + Delivery/Pickup @ Harvey Norman

Seems like a hell of a price increase for that. $100 I could understand but $200-$500 seems crazy!

Alistair79 commented on [Pre Order] MSI Radeon RX 6800 XT 16GB Graphics Card $1069 + Delivery/Pickup @ Harvey Norman
Quick question. Please forgive my ignorance. What are the advantages of the higher end 6800xt's ($1350-$1600) that would justify paying...

I guess that God assumed that the Jews were going to behave badly, so they needed to be given a bunch of extra rules?!?

Does anyone else think that 24 rules for life seems like someone is over thinking this a little. Even God only gave us 10!

Sometime around the mid to late 1930's if I had to guess

What are the advantages of this over say the new Google TV dongle that justify it being double the price?

"handmade" Just because a human is in the factory when these are produced does not make them "handmade"

Yeah! Centrecom, PLE, Scorptec are all $289 with free shipping or pickup. $429 was probably the MRRP back when this monitor was released.

Anyone who buys a grey import like this for a 2% discount over buying from an actual Apple store, has rocks in their head!

Tandy001 on Google Pixel 4a 6GB/128GB - $542.23 Delivered (Grey Import) @ TobyDeals (HK)

Any grey importer is only worth the gamble if the discount is significant. Which in this case, it certainly is not.

Alistair79 commented on Google Pixel 4a 6GB/128GB - $542.23 Delivered (Grey Import) @ TobyDeals (HK)
Maybe if it was $100+ cheaper than buying directly from Google then it would be worth it. Try again TobyDeals!

FYI JB/Officeworks one is 256gb. This is only 128gb.

So who is the actual loan through? FreedomLend seems to be a broker whilst trying not to straight out say that they are a broker.
