Got my test email thanks
Gibbo I have a few questions though.
1. You said first half of your 290X's have been delivered, how do we know if we are in that first half or not, and do you expect the rest of the 290x's to be delivered today/tomorrow? I was hoping to have mine delivered by the 25th.
2. Our free forum shipping, can that be selected to include next day delivery? Again hoping to get the 290x by the 25th.
3. Will the none BF4 290x be available tomorrow, if so how many of these are available? I.e will we realistically need to wake up at 6am just to secure a none BF4 290x?
4. Will the email include 290 prices?
thanks

Tomorrow morning you will receive an email, this will show you are part of the first half. Second half will be emailed later on, so check your emails tomorrow morning to see if you are one of the lucky ones.

If you are a forum member who have the free shipping then it will use the DPD Next Day delivery.
3. Will the none BF4 290x be available tomorrow, if so how many of these are available? I.e will we realistically need to wake up at 6am just to secure a none BF4 290x?
This will be mentioned in the email tomorrow morning too.
4. Will the email include 290 prices?
It will have all the information on all products we have available, so prices will be in there too.
thanks

Cool, thanks. Im guessing im in first half since I preordered first couple of hours on the first day thinking they would fly off the proverbial shelf. But in fact the BF4 290x's stayed up for best part of a week before going OoS.
is the HIS not gonna be available tomorrow? I was looking at either HIS or sapphire.

Will check tomorrow.
Fingers crossed that AMD won't pull up a Titan and have it priced at £800+
Im hoping the BF4 290x is priced as follows:
Normal BF4 copy included - £400
Premium BF4 copy included - £450.
Bear in mind we have already paid £100 towards this though, bf4 and bf4 premium is probably worth about £40 and £30 respectively, so I dont take that into account when thinking how much im willing to pay.
I just hope its not something stupid like £500+. The 280X only costs ~£230, and the normal 290 will probably be £50-£75 cheaper than this, so I dont realistcally see how they could price the 290 over like £450, its too big a gap imo.
I also am not impressed by AMDs tactics of releasing the 290 a full week after the 290x, considering the 290 is only ~10% slower than the 290x but will no doubt cost more than 10% less.

It's actually worked brilliantly for me, as the balance will go on my next credit card statement.
Makes it seem cheaper, even though it isn't
