You can pre-order the Odyssey Ark for $4,499.99. If you buy it before Monday, September 12th, you can save some money. You will get a $200 gift card if you preorder. Best Buy and Newegg are giving out gift cards worth $200 to people who pre-order a separate purchase.

Newegg confirmed that shipments from its website will start shipping on September 12th.

If you were one of the people who placed a no-cost reservation for the Odyssey Ark last week, you will get an instant $100 discount on your purchase through the company's online store. If you missed out on this deal, you can expect to get extra savings on its high-end products if you reserve a preorder. It's a win-WIN situation for some people.

I can't say for sure if the Odyssey Ark is worth its price. It was a sight to behold when I checked it out earlier in the month. It's a TV-sized gaming monitor that has a minimalist stand, which makes it easy to use. It won't be a good fit for everyone, but the price makes that obvious.
