When will the 38xx's be available stateside etail?

I got up this morning and checked Newegg, feeling certain that they'd be sold out already. No dice. Are the cards releasing today or on the 19th? I've heard both. It's the only thing holding up the wife's new rig.... C'mon ATI....gimme!

I would assume today. Why would a good percentage jump the gun? The worst thing that can happen is that you get a preorder instead of an actual order, and then on the 19th...it will ship.

Newegg's got 'em. $180 and $220

POOF. HIS and Sapphire OOS. Got them on auto notify though...

im pissed b/c i didnt get one. I was checking all morning for those darn cards and poof -- the 30 min i was out to lunch and thier gone! what happened to stock wouldnt be a problem??? THG just posted that story about how ati was launhing with 6 times the amount of 8800gt's and i could have bought an 88 all day when they came out?


absolute crap.

im stating a thread dedicated to my anger at the limited newegg quantities.

This goes for everyone...does anyone know of an offcial real restock wave of the 8800GT's, I have been waiting since 10/29 and still no status...I tried googling but to no help.

3870 Sapphire's back in stock at the egg! Hurry!

Sapphire 3870 in stock at new egg this very moment for $219. I just ordered mine! Upgrading from a 7800gt that is struggling with native resolution of my monitor (1280by1024). By the way, I was signed up for auto notify but never received my message for this card. I just so happened to check back "just to make sure".

Yes, I am spreading the news to help my fellow gaming community out. You may see me post this in a couple of different threads.

I've come to grips with the fact that it isn't what I thought it would be, but ATI..... I mean AMD... made up for it with the price. It's not what I am looking for, which is a top performer so I will pass on it. But those looking for a card in the low $200 mark it's the card to get.
