No - Gibbo stated that they will get more stock this week & to buy if it says pre-order. Page 39.

People who have 480's/580's upgrading to this, I can kind of understand given the ridiculous inflated price on their cards they'll upgrade at a small cost with a big upgrade. So fair play.

They wont deliver Tuesday I guess. Mine says payment not confirmed, is that usual.
That zotac 1070 is probably the sensible choice but guess Im not sensible

This would have been a nice upgrade from my 270x-4Gb, now I'm not sure whether to break the bank on a 1070 or get a 1060/rx580 and save a little cash for a potential Volta/Navi upgrade next year.
Why not? That's always the case.
5870 was 300, the 5850 was 200.
290X was like 450, the 290 was 350 (Give or take, I bought a 290 for 330 on launch)
Same as always.
People get told to vote with their wallets, but the people that vote with their wallets are vastly outnumbered by those clambering to get their wallets
well tomorrows price of the 64 will be around 460-480 so I guess the 56 is 100 cheaper

All this crying about it being £380 instead of £350 is hilarious. It matches the price of the 1070 and beats it in 90% of game benchmarks so what is the crying about?. Bunch of cheapos tbh
Quality second post.....
It's not about not being able to afford the 30 quid, it's about something being good value or not.
GPU 'value' has been toilet for the past year. The 56 at that price was just about falling into the upper bracket of a decent value upgrade from my 970. At 380, nope, I can wait.

AMDs shill budget must be huge.

I got one and it's been shipped already £379 which is ok
Too many impatient people. Everyone knows you have to pay crazy money for launch purchases. Look at the consoles going for double RRP on launch. I'm waiting for AIB cards before making any decision. If prices are ridiculous then will go for an alternative.
not when it seems AMD are discounting the early adopters to the tune of £100 per card

In a way AMD have forced people into being impatient with the pricing.
