It's showing out of the stock, I wonder if I ordered it, if they would just say that this bundle is discontinued? (assuming they won't be making that bundle much longer)

It's listed as 'Temporarily Out of Stock' meaning you can place an order and they'll let you know when they can fulfill it. I've seen numerous of these bundles in the city so I wouldn't be too concerned until the next big bundle comes out (Christmas/February?)
Edit: For those interested, looks like if you add Destiny, you get $20 off, making it only $50 for Destiny.

Yeah, jump all over this if you can - this is a wicked price. Reading online it probably isn't an error as there is a limit of 1 placed against each account.
But man, that's a great deal.

Out of stock.
Think if one orders it it'll be honoured?
EDIT: Just changed, now $399.

crap! came back from a meeting, sold myself on ordering it, now the price went up!
EDIT: still had the page open at the $339 price, added it to my cart, and it shows $399. Going to open a live chat, see if they'll honor the $339 price, I'll order it if I can snag it at that price!
EDIT2: sweet, they honored the price, got it at $339!

Glad I held off on buying the PS4. GTX 980/970 drop today. MemEx is taking pre-orders on them as well this morning (stopped by when they opened at the SE location today), but their stock of the EVGA models wont be in til Monday (CANADA!!! *shakes fist*).
Coincidentally, I am now selling a GTX 560Ti 448 (60$), GTX 580 (1.5GB, $125) and a GTX 680 (4 GB, $220). I've made a proper post in the Buy/Sell but I know not everyone checks that.
My wife is gonna get my other 680 Classified, which will help when Civ:BE comes out next month.

Good lord man, I love PC gaming as much as the next but $650 is too pricey, I love the look of a game on max settings but I couldn't justify that. You are the very definition of an enthusiast.
Now if only they could bring a nice version of Destiny out on PC.

So wait, Nvidia is skipping the 800 series all together and going straight from 7xx to 9xx? Seems weird

Most people won't be buying the 980, only people with deep pockets and who absolutely must be on the bleeding edge will shell out for that. $370 will get you the GTX 970, which still outperforms the GeForce TITAN and only loses a few FPS to the 980

I hear the 970 SLI results are quite spectacular, but I'm going to be grabbing a second 980 sometime in the next month or two. The first one is just a stop gap, since 1x980 is only about 10-15% faster than 2x680 4GB SLI. Will be nice to play Planetside 2 without video lag however, since the game doesn't support SLI. Ditto for Wolfenstein.

So a 980 would be quite a bit faster than 2x670 SLI? What about a 970, how would that compare to a 2x670 SLI? Still only running on a 1920x1200 screen though I guess I should think about the future since a much higher res screen is probably in the cards within the next year.

The big thing I like about the 970/980 is the new MFAA tech (also DirectX 12) which runs the MXAA equivalent with only 50%-70% the operating cost. So the gains are more than just the raw benchmarks.
The benches I've seen put the 970 @ about 12% faster than 670 SLI, and the 980 @ about 25-30% faster than 670 SLI.

My mom plays Candy Crush on her PC. I am assuming she is one of the 711 million?
