    Nice find, that's an awesome deal. I'm going to stick with the M4 I just ordered for $20 less, but if my order wasn't already in process, I might have paid the premium for Samsung.

    I wonder if this comes with the free Ghost Recon game from Samsung promotion. I'd pick this up if it did.

    edit: Just chatted, no Ghost Recon. :( I'll probably wait for NewEgg to price match it or something to get the free game.

    If it does, I will look at the 256GB I got for $200 and I will rage. Hard.
