Newegg bundles $1,460 128GB DDR5 memory kit with $50 Starbucks gift card — 'Drink Coffee while you game!!' retailer says as memory hits RTX 5080 pricing

Newegg is offering a bundle of two G.Skill Trident 128GB DDR5 RAM kits for a steep price of $1459, including a $50 Starbucks gift card. This pricing reflects the ongoing RAM pricing crisis, with DRAM costs skyrocketing since October. The kit costs more than a new RTX 5080 GPU, highlighting the exorbitant prices consumers are facing. Despite attempts to sweeten deals with gift cards, the high costs may lead to a potential 9% shrinkage in the PC market.
