Nice

Im praying the 290x is under £450, considering ive already paid a hundred £350 wont be too bad to pay.

Its annoying though knowing that the 290 will probably be at least £75 cheaper be wont be out til next week.

So im confused right now - if I want a card still - what do I do?

If I preorder now, Im guaranteed to be the latter part of the afternoon, but are the cards going on sale in shop tomorrow as well?

You cant preorder now, the BF4 290X went out of stock a while ago. However the normal 290X will be available ot order from tomorrow morning at 5AM, the 290 will be available in a week.

With the BF4 versions, the people who preordered early will get a chance at 5AM to pick their card, the second half of people who preordered it later will get to chose later on tomorrow as OCUK have only recieved half of thier orders thus far.

So in other words...be on your pc at 5AM this morning haha

Ok cheers, not interested in the BF4 version anyway as I've already ordered the full pack elsewhere

Id wait then and see what we have to look at at 5am. I have a funny feeling though that the 290x's will be sold out come later afternoon tomorrow.

But it raises a question, if im in the first half of BF4 preorders, but I dont wake up until 2PM tomorrow afternoon, do they reserve me one of the first half 290x's or just give it to the people in the second half and say sorry to me?

How does that work gibbo or anyone? I.e how long do us early people have to pick a card tomorrow before it gets allocated to the second half people?

Got my test email thanks. I doubt I will be ready to jump in tomorrow though. I want to see some independent reviews of both the 290X and 780Ti first.
