If you want a piece of NVIDIA technology, NVIDIA's chip keychain is your answer. With a genuine NVIDIA G98 chip inside a 1.5" square clear lucite key tag you not only get a real GPU, but also a key chain. The G98 chip comes complete with an engraved NVIDIA logo. -- $9.99

That's just shows another way of making money from the customers.
But honestly, I personally liked the idea...

Yeah, I've just verified that. 
But it behaves strangely...  It first shows the product page with 'In Stock: Available for Backorder' message and right afterwards is switches automatically with a blink-of-an-eye to nVidia main Homepage...

I took a quick screen shot to capture the item number right before it switches to the online shop home page. |

Yeah, that's exactly what I saw for a second or so before it switched to the main page.
Maybe it switches to the main page in purpose, since they don't have it in stock anymore...But even then, they could have just said: NOT IN STOCK.  GO FIGURE...
