Will We Start Seeing 1080 Prices Getting Sensible Again Soon..?

After checking out nowinstock I've seen a LOAD of stock for the vast majority of cards going out (the majority of them were blue 'Pre-order' and now are white 'Out Of Stock' labels) it's looking like whatever component shortage/manufacturing problems that the 1080 has suffered from since the 1080 'launched' is over.

I don't for a second believe that the state of the quid is the only reason for these ridiculous price hikes because the 1080 has also seen increases in the States.

So will we see the prices coming down soon now that there's about to be plenty more stock available..?

The good news about the Brexit is that once we leave the EU we'll have unrestricted commercial dealings with countries outside of the EU like India, China, Japan and the States. Our deals with the States currently are restricted at a certain level of trade because nobody in EU is allowed to get a better deal than anyone else. It's going to take time but in the mid to long term the retail price of electronic goods will drop once we're able to negotiate better deals. I just wish I could move the clock forward.

I've now ordered a Zotac Amp! Extreme from another etailer for £633.99 plus a fiver for postage. £600 was originally my limit but I thought I'd jump on that yesterday before the price went up again. It was only £580 last week!
