One thing I haven't spotted, how long do we have to rma the cards if we want to? What's the deadline?

Thanks.

I seem to recall Gibbo saying that the cut off point was the end of Feb.

I think that's pretty lame. Thanfully OcUK have put us first and have not done things half assed.

Well, had the UK price been knocked off by 20%, it would probably be in the £200-£240 price region, so people would effective get what they paid for in a sense- a card that should had been GTX960Ti 3.5GB in the first place

Left me his contact details too, so they are taking this seriously. Well insofar as returns are concerned, no trade up unfortunately.

I was worried that Randall was grooming this guy now you're at it as well :eek:

You monsters!

I wish I'd bought a 970 at launch now. I was so close. Could hace returned it and had 6 months free gaming

I suspect returns will be above 5 % soon...an have been really good with returns like oc suffer as i think the real number returned will be in the thousands not hundreds as gibbo hoped.

You must be right, only NVIDIA can hustle (lie) like that to maintain their king (profits)

You sure those small bits of mince-beef on that quarter ain't the "supposed to be" meatball?

The problem is, I bet the pizza was still delicious, and superior to Pizza Hut's equivalent pizza.

We are beyond car metaphors and into pizza ones now

Yeah, but Pizza Hut's pizzas are cheaper, although they are served a bit too hot.

"Even with quarter of the pizza with meatballs missing, it's still a very good pizza for the money and delicious...you guys should be ashamed of making complains and wanting to be compensated...this greedy UK claim culture is really shameful"

Are you sure that the last portion of Pizza and meatballs isn't just working on a slower delivery schedule and will turn up today?

This is ofcourse how it was intended to be eaten.

And when it comes out the other end, be sure to wipe with your NVIDIA branded toilet roll, with a full 200 sheets per roll! And when you get stranded because it runs out at 175 sheets, don't forget folks that the previous 175 sheets wiped EXACTLY as advertised!

Forget that. I wouldn't settle for missing meatballs, I'd lob it back into the pizza guys face.

Got myself a 20% refund from Amazon. Not bad. I don't care what people say £58 isn't a small amount of money.

that comes out of their pockets?

ok their rather large pockets lol
but i mean u think they did any deal with nvidia?
i find it interesting that altho no laws were broken (that i know of) some big shops have offered refunds, thats not a usual thing

PayneUK · 17 Feb 2015 at 13:40

I think Amazon are pretty ruthless at just withholding money from company’s in situations like this due to being big enough to go ‘yeah… and?’ if they kick up a fuss. I’ve never had a problem returning anything to them even for the most half arsed reasons.
