To be fair, OCUK have clearly highlighted the problems with the mobos so, no one is being ripped off - there is also sufficient info out there for potential buyers to realise that there has been problems.
No one is forcing anyone purchase these mobos - most people are accepting that a problem exists and are willing to take a chance - but, the mobo will be replaced by all the manufacturers in due course so, no one is losing out other than in time by having to swap the old board over for a new one at some point!
For those who only use the two 6 Gb SATA sockets, it's not really even an issue!
