Just found what I think a lot of us, at least the ones that have been curious about this an incredible opportunity. The BFG Store now has the 128 MB BFG PhysX Co-Processor on sale for $99 after rebate, check it out Here. Although this seems to be a knock-off of the original Ageia Card the specs look identical. Lot better than the previous pricing I had been hearing about.

Still about twice what it costs if integrated on an nVidia card :-)

Haven't seen the Integrated version yet, that may be a more practical way to go and you would save a slot. Any idea where you can pick that up?

Nah, there aren't any, yet :-)
Well, I think there were a few in the G7 series, but those may have been just DELL's XPS line and integrated unto the system rather than on a card.

Well I feel that performance now will offset stupid spending later so I went ahead and ordered a few of these, just a silly Jarhead but Live for today eh.

I just got a XPS 630 and they gave me the option to get the Ageia PhysX card but I said no, was that a mistake?
I've only seen CoX use it and I play other games so I thought it was a better buy to get the soundblaster sound card instead.

i just headed out to my local fry's electronics and picked up a Geforce 9800 BFG overclocked with 512 mb of RAM on it.
this bad boy ran me 200 bucks and runs CoH and CoV at complete max settings. i mean everything enabled and turned up all the way. character and world detail at very high and 200%. its freaking incredible in combination with my new 24inch NEC HD monitor

@slfootball63: A list of games making use of Ageia's PhysX can be found here.
Unless you play 5 or more of those titles, the card really isn't worth it.
@MightySmiter: You do realize you can do the same with a G7950 GTX card with 512MB?
But hey, that BFG is good future proofing for when nVidia gets their Dx10 drivers under control, sometime before the end of this decade I hope :-)

Yeah the only game I play on the PC on there is CoV and thats not enough push for me to bark up the bucks for it but I did get my new computer and I'm extremely happy with it.
