I'm planning to make a hefty purchase: that of either a Sapphire or XFX 5970 AND a modular Corsair PSU 850W.

I'm just itching to purchase the PSU to start off with. What's holding me is that were I to order both together I'd pay €30.21 in shipping whereas where I to order them separately I'd have pay a total of €43.03 in shipping.


Hence my question, are the 5970's envisaged to be in stock and available before the end of the year?

Thanks.

What did you get yours for?

The pre order included a set amount so I find it hard to believe they're just taking preorders willynilly, they'd just have unlimited pre orders otherwise yet once they were filled the product just went out of stock. The fact other stores have the same date means something must have happened.

If a lorry load of these cards crashed leaving the sapphire warehouse and destroyed a shipment I might cry.
 
When questioned about the XFX 5970 BE I received the following courteous reply via a webnote, "No stock has arrived sir, we suspect it wont turn up until next week now."

........Ordered a Sapphire @ £434.04 (free delivery) and also a XFX BE @ £485 (inc delivery). I thought I'd see which comes in first and cancel the other.
 
Heh good plan, yeah I got my sapphire for the same. A steal if they ever arrive.

Phoned them today and they didnt have any managers about so no idea on why the delay, one of the managers is emailing me back on monday with an update. If they give a believeable reason other than "we were guessing" i'll update y'all :)

Why not? The list hasn't changed for weeks... probably taking lots of pre orders... getting all the £££ in... shame that interest rates are low...
 
I'm not talking about OCUK, I'm talking about the place I pre orderd my card which had the same 27th availability date. They had a set number of pre orders once they ran out the card was removed from the site, there was about 10 for the sapphires.
 
Checking the store I see the Sapphire expected date has been changed to 01/12/09 which is tuesday, can any official OCUK staff comment on what caused the delay? And also how solid the 01/12/09 date is?
