ASUS 5850 IN STOCK AND READY TO SHIP @ £245.99 inc VAT

I just received an Asus 5850 from a competitor and the box wasnt sealed and the anti-static bag was only sealed with cellotape (nice packaging overall tho), is this normal for Asus?

Its normal on their mainboards. Had an Asus 4890 which was not in a sealed box which was sealed with cellotape, so seems quite normal.
 
In case anyone is interested to see what is in the Asus 5850 pack here are some pics.

Box and excess packaging:

Protectors on the connectors:

Carbon fibre effect much nicer than the usual sticker:

Feels solid and looks good, gonna plug it in shortly :)

My Asus 5850 doesn't have the Carbon fibre effect! Thick I may have to return it... :D

I did get it in the 1st round of deliveries back in October, guess all this time they have been coming up with a new fan shroud...
