PhysX Cards At $50 In Japan

December 18th, 2007 Posted in Articles, Business, Hardware, News, PC

Ageia hasn’t had the big success with its PhysX card. After a year and some games that support the technology, we still haven’t seen any breakthrough, mostly due to the high price of the card (anywhere from $130-$180).

But now Ageia has announced a new deal with Japanese graphics cards maker ELSA, who will start selling PhysX cards in Japan for 6000 Yen, or just over $50. If that price comes to the rest of the world, it would be the best thing that has happened to the PhysX lineup, especially if we get some decent games that support the technology in a proper way.

    The PhysX cards are NOT 5980 yen MSRP! kakaku.com says they’re selling for 29800 at shops. This all came from a post on Akiba PC Hotline (http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/akiba/hotline/20071201/etc_physx.html) saying that stores are battling each other price-wise and dropped the bulk-packed units down to 5980 yen in limited quantities as a special purchase item.

    Any idea where this is going on? I’m assuming I won’t be able to walk into a Yodobashi Camera and just find a card for 6000 yen.
