Thanks, I just ordered one. I was watching the G-SYNC page and they never updated it.

It is pretty expensive, especially after they add shipping and tax. Why tax!?
Subtotal: $199.00
Shipping: $9.50
Tax: $15.17
Total: $223.67

I think they only charge tax if the business has a building in your state. They didn't charge me sales tax and I'm in Pennsylvania.

Blah. I'd overnight it, but I don't know if it will ship today, and even if it does, if they'll deliver on Saturday. :(

Also, tax in Wisconsin apparently...

Good to hear -

I've posted an alert on the main Blur Busters site about these kits!

NVidia doesn't have anything in Minnesota as far as I can tell. And I think the law is if they are selling it to you from that state you have to pay state sales tax.

For example if I buy something from Target.com (based in Minnesota) I have to pay sales tax, but if I buy something from Walmart.com I don't have to.

And both have physical stores here.

$221.53 for me. I'm in Illinois and was charged tax.

The company charging me is named Digital River. I bet it would be cheaper to sell these kits through Amazon and Newegg. Nvidia would probably get more money, too, because their overhead is so low.

No way this is cheaper than a premodded monitor.

$225.18 for me... gotta love NY tax. :roll:

Pretty excited to see it in action, though.

I'm hoping there will be a deal on these soon as I'm upgrading my video card for this as well. Being a poor college student sucks :P

I wouldn't count on a deal on an upgrade kit. Niche products that are only available for a limited time don't tend to go on sale.
