BFG Announces 100 Day Power Supply Trade Up Program
BFG Technologies, Inc., the leading North American and European supplier of advanced NVIDIA-based 3D graphics cards, power supplies, and the Phobos High-Performance Gaming/Home Theater System, announced today the BFG 100 Day Power Supply Trade Up Program. The program is designed to give BFG customers a one time opportunity to exchange their current BFG power supply within 100 days of the original date of purchase for an upgraded model and only pay the difference in price, plus applicable shipping and taxes.
The new Power Supply Trade Up Program continues BFG Technologies' trend of adding innovative features and value-added services to their product offerings. BFG was the first company to offer round-the-clock free technical support and a lifetime warranty on all of their graphics cards. The company was also the first to give consumers an increase in performance right out of the box with their OC line of factory overclocked graphics cards. In 2008, the company introduced the well-received BFG 100 Day Graphic Card Trade Up Program.
"The BFG Power Supply Trade Up Program is one more way we can provide our customers with valuable product enhancements and services that extend their technology investment," said John Malley, senior director of marketing for BFG Technologies. "Customers can confidently purchase a BFG power supply today knowing that their investment will be protected if newer power supplies are launched soon after. The BFG Power Supply Trade Up program will also provide customers an opportunity to upgrade to a model more suited to their performance needs-whether that is more wattage, better efficiency, a modular version, or a combination of these features."
The BFG Power Trade Up program applies to BFG power supplies purchased after June 1, 2009. While the program is currently only available to U.S. and Canadian customers, BFG will offer the program in other countries as becomes feasible to do so. Certain terms and conditions apply.

Special Limited Time Offer
The new program will normally only apply to BFG power supplies purchased on or after June 1, 2009. However, until June 12, 2009, BFG Technologies is allowing customers to trade in their currently eligible and working BFG power supply for an upgraded model, providing the customer purchased the unit on or after January 1, 2009 and can provide proof of purchase.

"OH i want to step up because I bought this psu to power a Nvidia MX440 but now ive gone 4870x2 crossfire"
Couple refurbed 9800GTX+'s at a price the Folders here couldn't turn down. Case change, change to modular setup, etc.
Not so much for me personally, though. I'd rather keep my previous PSU to pass off to another system, build another machine around it, etc.
& about shiny things?? how often does PSU technology take a leap?? very little changes. they might have high quality caps & other internal components but to my knowledge their just the same.
My $2
A lot changes in the graphics card realm in 100 days. New cards come out, prices on "older" cards drop.
Say you bought one card almost 100 days ago and the prices drop to a point where you can now afford to buy a second. Say you only have a 550W power supply. Now you can trade up to a 1000W or a 1200W.
Also, this coincides with graphics card trade up programs. Say you have a 450W PSU and a graphics card that only needs that much power. But now you're thinking about using a trade-up program to upgrade the graphics card to something that the 450W power supply can't handle. No problem! Upgrade the PSU as well. Trade in the 450W and only pay the difference.
