Looking at the disastrous launches of PS5, Xbox and RTX 3000, it seems AMD has decided to release absolutely no info to combat the bots and scalpers. Everything will be released at the last minute, including the purchase links, so that scalpers don't get enough time to react. It could also be driver issues though.This release is a joke. Where are the reviews?
Where can we buy them?
What are the prices?
Like wtf?

You can thank AMD embargo for that, it should have been lifted a lot earlier than the time of release.
Shouldn't we be expecting reviews already?
God forbid we are able to weigh our purchases before they go on sale eh?
How many 6800XT's will I get for 5 bars of gold-pressed Latinum?

pretty much this.Order then cancel if reviews aren't very good.
Take the MRSP and then add to it.Any clue what actual pricing is likely to be?

Are reviews out today?
I agree with you. I don't understand why AMD have this policy.I think the fact they are not releasing reviews/benchies until the cards are actually on sale only increases the potential for scalpers/resellers.
people can't make an informed choice without reviews/benchmarks, so people will simply buy them, see they are/are not better/worse than they want them to be, then resell them.
No reviews simply makes matters worse... in my view.
They've used the tactic in the past for some underwhelming GPU releases, but why use it for Ryzen 5000 and now the 6000 series. It makes now sense to me.The fact there are no reviews is sketchy to me, maybe they are trying to hide crap cards and dump on them the eager beavers lol.
