    Also is a single slot, comes with dual link DVI, and HDMI 1.2 Ready (native)

    Only Available at Fry's and only for a limited time, only instore pickup now:
    The All in Wonder for 40$ - http://www.frys.com/product/6092518
    The TV Tuner - http://www.frys.com/product/5586570?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

    No Rebates, just a flat 40$ and 30$ respectively

    Doesn't say how long, im assuming while quantities last

    I hope im not breaking any rules by asking this, but if someone is located near a fry's electronic and would consider buying the TV tuner for me, i'd pay your cost, plus shipping, plus a little extra for your trouble, i really would like this as my current tuner is not x64 capable, and id really much like to have a Tuner again.

    Nice... thought about picking one up last time they had this sale, but I think I'll pull the trigger this time.
    I can pick one up for you, but not sure if it will be worth it? unless these are just not available in Canada?
    I figure...
    $29.95
    sales tax (9.75%) = $32.91
    USPS priority shipping ($11.45) = 44.36
    PayPal fees (3.9% int'l) = $46.09

    They are, but grotesquely expensive for unknown reasons, the best price I personally can find on them (and shopbot.ca) is about 90 dollars, which is utter BS based on the card itself and its age, sent you a pm.

    bad news... :(
    called 2 of the 3 somewhat local Fry's and they are sold out and discontinued. The third Fry's is too busy to take calls... so I gotta try back in a few.
