Want a 3dfx Card? Better hurry! -- 8:43 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

A memo has been sent out to all Best Buy stores, instructing them to pull all 3dfx cards off the shelves since 3dfx tech support is due to cease in February. Here's a snip:

3dfx announced today that they have signed a definitive agreement with Nvidia Corporation to sell to them most of 3dfx's assets. With this agreement it has also been announced that 3dfx will discontinue techincal support after Feb. 15th. Concidering the nature of this product, we feel that continuing to provide this product to our customers will jeopardize their satisfaction with both BBY and the product long term.

We are asking that you pull all 3dfx skus listed below off of your shelves and hold in the warehouse. The product will then be sent during our January brown goods return. Your complete execution is needed on this.

Thanks Voodoo Extreme, who also linked to this Firing Squad interview with 3dfx's Scott Taylor.
