MSI to offer 55% launch-day discount on P55 motherboards

Deluxe1 · 3 Sep 2009 at 13:47

At a few outlets with Overlockers being mentioned as one.

Come launch day, MSI will be knocking a massive 55 per cent off the asking price of its two range-topping boards. Consequently, the P55-GD65, with a suggested retail price of £169, will be made available for as little as £63! The top-end P55-GD80, meanwhile, would normally fetch £189 and could be yours during the promotion for just £85.50.

Sounds like a cracking deal, and MSI tells us it will offer the promotional prices on a limited quantity of stock - meaning the offer could last only hours.

Well, I pulled the trigger on the GD80. At the time of pressing add to basket it was still in stock (or actually "pre-order") after submitting the order I come back here to read that they have all gone. I have no idea now if I managed to make the cut or not

Same situation as me.

Let say in the first wave there were only 10 mobos but 15 people managed to order before it showed Out of Stock. Will the remaining 5 be automatically be placed in the queue for the second wave

I hope that is the case.

Didnt Yewen say everyone in the first wave who ordered would get one?

All 26 people who oversold in the 30 second period the website was updating are allocated onto our second batch already.

Have no fear on that one.

I'll take my pick as to what one i'll keep.

So you ordered one of each at 2:30pm and they got despatched?

Ordered my 80 this morning and its still in the queue.
