Yup.

The ones with the "Free" games are £470-£490 elsewhere, so I expect them to be £450+ once the "launch" batch runs out

OCUK's German sister as well as another German vendor offered the Sapphire for €409 which equals £379, both already sold out. Don't know how much they had on stock though.

The French AMD partner e-tailer didn't get any in stock by the looks of it. And I haven't found one French e-tailer that stocked the 56

Order is shipped!

right all i have to do now is flog the 480

Surely its got to be false advertising, as the games are not free, if the cards only £380, how can 2x 'free' games, push that up to £480 ?

Wow I didn't think they would ship today due to the bank-holiday. Mines still processing:/

With regards to how pricing changes after launch the three camels should provide some insight. Just received my shipping email!

Looking forward to some Haribo.

well AMD have changed the wording on their official website now, on the 21st the games were marked as being free, then sometime after that the changed the free to "game offer"

**** knows, but there will always be some spin they can put out to explain why, personally i think it reeks of pure bs. 499 price on the slides turned out to be bs, free games also on the slides also turned out to be bs.

The industry as a whole is a dirty mess.

I'm currently on a Sapphire RX480 and was going to wait for custom cards with better coolers.

But as I have neither Prey nor Wolfenstein (and fancy playing both), that Vega 56 red pack seems very enticing. Seriously thinking of going for it. Or is it a bad idea?

P.S. I assume these pack deals are for reference cards only and the AIB versions later won't have them?

P.P.S. Sapphire or Powercolor?

Will we ever get to see AIB boards?

Going for the Vega 56 pack at over 450 pound seems absolutely stupid.
They're on sale right now on Steam.

No - Gibbo stated that they will get more stock this week & to buy if it says pre-order. Page 39.

So the current prices on that preorder page are the "special" prices? :eek:
