• Yes it is, you can thank the miners and scalpers for the price hike

• 499 is for the standalone card. This is the Blackpack bundled with 2 games and with additional rebates if bought in combo with other hardware

• This version of the card appears to be the Radeon Pack which should include two games and has an MSRP of 599.

• The limited edition and the black are boh the same price, you pay no premium for a limited edition over a black one, this also comes as the radeon pack, so you get $130 in games and $400 in discounts

• The REAL answer is simply THIS is a "Black Pack", it comes with the 2 free games (Wolfenstein and Prey) valued over $100. The "stand alone" cards are supposed to be $499, but there weren't very many of those on release day and they got bought up in minutes... Everything I'm hearing is miners have no want for these and aren't touching them with a stick.

• The cause for the price increase to $599 is the two "free" games that come with the card. It's a promotion by AMD to prevent overbuying by miners. Technically, its a deal, (two AAA titles for $100 instead of $120+) but its somewhat lackluster for sure. I would prefer to buy the card at the $499 price-point advertised and confirmed by AMD for the card alone.

• This is the "black pack" version, which includes discounts to Ryzen processor/motherboard combos, samung monitor, and free copies of "Wolfenstein: the new colossus" and "Prey". The $499 MSRP is for the Vega 64 card only, sans pack. Currently, Best Buy doesn't have any standalone cards listed.
