I'm after the geforce 8800gts card, but it's asking price brand new is a bit steep (around 320k). For that price I could buy an xbox 360. Is there any korean equivalent of ebay? I'd also like to sell my current card (8600 GT).
cheers

The 8800 series is still quite new but there must be somebody selling them. Obsessives (like me) want to upgrade all the time. I'll ask Korean friends where to get 2nd hand computer parts.

You should be able to get a new 8800GTS 320MB for about 280,000 on Danawa (Yongsan).

Cheers for that. I guess I'll have to wait. It seems ridiculous to pay that amount when the XBOX 360 boasts more gaming power! I was hoping that some ultra-hardcore PC gamers would be upgrading to higher end cards.

I disagree that the xbox boasts more gaming power. Have you seen Call of Duty 4. I'm playing it with an 8600GT and it knocks down, kicks, and stomps on anything I've ever played on the xbox 360. And this is a relatively weak card, compared to the 8800 GTS (or soon to arrive 8800 GT).
