Release dates for C400, Vertex 3, G3

Can we expect the price of the Vertex 2E to go down much when the 3 is finally released? My MBP isn't SATA-III so I don't think there's much benefit spending the extra £50 for the Vertex 3 as it is.
 
Running a single F3 1tb at the moment, pathetic really.

Going for 2xC400/M4 64gb in RAID0 and 3xF3 1tb in RAID5.

Come on Crucial! We're waiting! I wants me 750mbps+ read. :p

My motherboard is also Sata 2 (Asus P5Q Pro) but I considering Vertex 3, C400 and C300. Sata 2 is not enough for sequential speeds with SSD than can go over 270 MB/s but that's the least important aspect with SSD, random read/write (especially 4K) is much more important and if these new models is better in that then there are good even for Sata 2 motherboard.

I was thinking to go for C300 but I am afraid of problems that some have with 0006 firmware, there is huge thread about that on Crucial forum. C300 proved as very good (faster than C400 in more than one test) and it is around 200 €, while Vertex 3 is faster and will probably be around 250 €. C400 is not as fast as Vertex 3 so it should be cheaper. Anyone know when can we expect C400 in stock?

And we don't know how will Vertex 3 and C400 perform considering that they are new and some say that people who purchase quickly after release is beta testers for firmware.

My friend will buy for me one SSD that I choose in Austria and bring it to me in mid April so I have about two weeks to decide between C300, Vertex 3 and C400 (if it will be available until then).

I see the vertex 3s are now officially overdue. I guess they are out of everybody's hands now and they will get here when they get here. It's annoying, not knowing if they are literally arriving tomorrow morning or are still weeks away.
How many people have actually ordered one? I have a whole new system waiting to be shipped when they arrive. :(
 
Iv got an oder in for the vertex3, been watching ocuk all day for confirmation. Have to say, sad at the news they didnt arrive but like has been said theres not a lot that can be done about that.
Waiting for the good news now. When they arrive i will be a cat in cream!
