I understand that but i guess i just find it a silly business practise to have things up for preorder, 2 weeks away from release with no concrete details on performance or price.

Well I have pre-ordered two knowing that if they are not what I expect I can get a full refund.

So if you got the cash, it's a no brainer.

I'm just hoping that they reward the buyers by not ripping them off and giving them something worthy of an 8000 limited run item.

Lol. They have a few hundred units available. That means 20-30k over 2 weeks.

They're going to make all of £5 interest on this. If that. Don't forget credit card charges for all the people that decide on a refund that they will have to absorb.

I have the cash, i guess i just feel uncomfortable ordering 2 and not knowing the price or performance against the other top cards. I know its not really an issue since you can get a refund, i just kinda hoped wed know an official price by now so if they ended up being £700 or so id just get a 7990 instead at £450 which would be faster most likely.

DO IT NOW!!

You know you gonna regret it in few days (if that) when there aren't any left.

and Kudos to OCUK.
You are really looking after your customers by offering a no quibble refund on the deposit.

Guys

Were now passed 100 deposits taken, see were also being mentioned on some very big sites, Anandtech, Steam, AMD etc.

Superb publicity again for us! :D
 
Gibbo I see you have said "The cards are expected mid-end October." and Anandtech are saying ETA 31st October, is that just them taking a worst case scenario or you hoping they might come in earlier than expected?
 
Argh. I don't know what to do. I have no card in my PC at the moment, i want an R290X - i really don't care about the BF version, i can just get BF3 on Origin.

Do you actually have any left now?

Do you have any idea when the normal cards will be up for preorder? I'v had BF on order for ages so don't really want the premium version but id probably order a normal version as soon as they go up for pre order.
