Nope it was a mad clicking frenzy on the day they came out with very limited stock. I was one of the lucky ones that got a 64 (hair dryer edition) I mean reference that was very soon under water.

I fully expect the 7th to be mainly pre orders, with possible very limited availability on the day but then it will be pre order only after that.

Hopefully not a repeat of the good old X800 XT PE. How well I remember trawling every retailer in hope of getting one and having to settle on a 6800 Ultra instead.
 
could be worse, I remember the x1800-XT and 2 weeks later the X1900-XT came out lol ended up with both, still have the X1900-XT and still works, I think, vacuum cleaner, I am sure Dyson got his idea's from them cards:D

No they didn't, They put Vega up on the store on the day it released & then they messed up the sales by selling some twice. I was waiting on them to hit the store all morning & as soon as I could order it I did so over the phone where I was told I would get it the following day, Then it never turned up & I was told they accidently messed up the orders, I was real peeved at the time as I'd been messaging Gibbo for days asking him to take my money upfront so I could have one reserved but he never replied. They then told me they couldn't say when the stock would arrive to honor the sales at the limited release day pricing, stock arrived that same day but it was at the higher price of £800 for the AIO model.

Same here with the liquid edition, I ordered it when it was in stock and 2 days later had to cancel as they had sold out (somehow in about a minute of it going live). Never got a mail explaining what happened, had to call them and got told what was up.

In hindsight I was glad I didn't get one as a lot of the initial liquid cooled cards were dying left and right for some reason.
