dont think that many would be "gutted" though after spending 199 on a 280 whatever....

Just IMO.

Think I will pass for now but good luck to everyone who bags one. The EVGA model I wanted has gone up from £264 to £282 in the space of a few hours and its still showing the same 4 instock. Guess it must be the exchange rate again :eek:

It's surprising how many people will switch allegiance now that GTX280 is more affordable.

Not really, they were horribly overpriced but great cards? No allegiance for me, 4870 made sense with the amount of money i wanted to spend.

Allegiance? this isn't war, it's the consumer getting what they want.

It's terrible, these things are good for everyone really, any person not buying the best product for their needs at the amount of money they want to spend is a category 5 moron really.
