PRS have said 3-4 months ( they do excellent work ) but at the moment its stuck at Peach Guitars as the PRS rep isn’t allowed to visit. I’m going to pick it up on Tuesday and deliver it to PRS myself ( PRS are in Cambridge).

i guess i should stop now as this isn’t really relevant to this forum, just sharing some of the pain we’re all suffering

Do you have a link/quote for that? That would help making a decision.
Though now don't think it will matter much anymore, depending on next week I will make the jump to red team, tho at this point there's going to be so much running to AMD I'll end up in the same situation.

Guess we will see.

from Gibbo Oct 12th

"Inno3D are shipping us a close to large shipment of 3080's end of this week / early next week, ETA will be before end of this month, on the shipment shall be Twin X2 OC, X3 and X4 3080's"

None of the X3 X4 have arrived and according to Gibbo they have been sat portside in HK ever since - if of course you are credulous enough to believe that !

@GIGA-Man


SERIOUSLY... what is going on? Been 2nd in que from 17th... for EAGLE OC 3080... 6 weeks after an order. and weeks after being told they are due......


I feel mislead.. seeing as the original order stated 23rd sep for due stock.....


Hope you can understand my frustrations as a first time customer.....

@GIGA-Man @TheBB88 Yeah I feel its time for an update on the eagles please. I could have probably ordered a genetically cloned extinct Haast eagle in the time its taken to get to this point, soon we'll get to the point where I could have made an eagle Jurassic park.

Exactly the same. This has been a total let down. 23rd September then a big fat nothing. You should feel misled as actually you have been numerous times. Hundreds of eagles were sold in the first couple of hours on what turned out to be a "mistake". No attempt to resolve it, no attempt at an apology, just more misinformation and more silence.

You will get your card at some point though. Those who ordered an hour or 2 after maybe won't and if they do, they have a huge wait. If I ordered a different card I may be at 30 in the queue, but with the non moving eagle queue that was "expected 23 September", I am more than 200 places lower.

There were supposed to be 2 eagle deliveries, one last week and one this. One in the "teens" and one decent one. Who knows what happened to them, now a new vague update which WILL prove to be wrong. I have very low expectations of OC, but somehow they manage to still be a let down. Will be eagles with the scalpers in the next few days and we will be left with no explanations as to what happened to ours.

I wonder if those of us who have Watchdogs bundle on our orders, but haven't got a card yet, could swap it for COD? I believe a competitor is allowing it hm...

You need to know what will be the game after that or after that as that’s how long most will be waiting on their GPUs ;) - be nice if oc allowed it but I wouldn’t be holding my breath :(
 
Well I feel like a bit of an idiot to be honest, I just paid £1700 for a RTX 3090. (Won’t name which site due to getting banned, but it’s a site that allows you to pay over MSRP...)

I know it’s not really any justification but I live on my own and with the recent announcement of lockdown V2 and not being able to see my family for a good while I wanted to get something to see me though lockdown.

Ouch! Beautiful guitar. I’ve got a PRS Custom 24 Floyd 10 top. Such beautiful guitars. Surprised it wasn’t in a hard case! Best guitar I’ve ever played. They do get bashed when you gig with them though, eventually. I hope you get it sorted.

was in a hard case, the official PRS one. case shows no signs of damage, which is odd

my special 22 semi-hollow is a 10-top, with an ebony finger board. Fantastic guitar

The competitor got their order on Friday, late afternoon. I reckon that OCUK did too, but cba to get them shipped.

Oh just FYI, providing it does actually arrive and I have not been scammed, I will be cancelling my GTX 3080 MSI Ventus order. Position 156.

Thanks, I hope so too. I mean I was only waiting 5 weeks for that item, that easy mode compared to my 3080 wait (actually all our wait)
