I wonder how many pre orders were cancelled this morning.....

I just bought one. Prices dropped a bit in NZ, I was one my 4th glass of bourbon, the UK voted 'Leave'. Long story.

Should be here on Wednesday

Dicehunter · 24 Jun 2016 at 09:56

Holy hell the prices jumped up quite a bit on the 1080's :eek:

Yeah I can see OCUK's sales dipping a little bit.

Gerard · 24 Jun 2016 at 10:29

Near £700 for a strix, LOL Insane.

Supernaut91 · 24 Jun 2016 at 10:34

Is this for real? Is this from the pound weakening?

You would think this would kill all sales but people will still buy at this pricepoint.
Soon we will be hitting TitanX launch prices boys. What a farce for miniature pascal 256bit.

Radox-0 · 24 Jun 2016 at 10:35

Yes sir, free falling pound, kind of expected I would imagine.

Even in 2012 when the pound value was low it was never this bad.

Good times. Glad I have my two 980s feel sorry for new buyers. :eek:

I must admit that this is a bit of a knee jerk reaction by OCUK. It is not going to be a prelonged dip as the banks are already giving us promises of this.

I bet the prices stay the same if it recovers..... I was going to go on holiday in September to Spain..... I might hold off now!

Retailer will always jump at the opportunity to squeeze more cash out of your wallet

The fact that the over all price now seems to be more in pounds than in dollars smells a little fishy

.

I wonder if my comments are pushing me further down the queue in regards to getting my card..... :rolleyes:

They won't be affected

seems a bit of a cash in by OC if you ask me. Surely the price they buy the cards for has not gone up

Apparently it can.

But for preorders you've already paid, so price can't change

I know they wont be affected. My point is that these cards are expensive and some people will now reconsider the amount of money they are spending on it due to an uncertain financial future.

Im not scare scaremongering, just saying that ive considered it and if i have then others will have too.

Deo_volente · 24 Jun 2016 at 11:48

I was just looking and the prices seem the same as they were the other day when i checked. Pretty sure it was just that pricing bug that seems to crop up on the site now and then.

Nah, it was definitely intentional.

Dave M said:
We're looking in more detail what we can afford to risk with graphics in particular, we shifted everything en-masse earlier to give time for product managers and finance to work it out. Pricing pretty much always follows dollar forecasts (and what our competition is doing). Forecasts are pretty much useless at the moment, unprecedented events and all that.

They are back down for now though. Better buy quick, as you never know when they could jump again...
