Well they were being recalled due to the temp sensor problem right??
I imagine a few unhappy customers.
Overclockers notwithstanding ..
Nope, No Temp Sensor issue.
Some Software/BIOS update required.
Stock is low due to rave reviews and high demand.
I expect the Quad Core parts to ships in late March.
This should cut demand for the E8xxx chips and allow stock to increase and price to drop below $200.
Now you just need to keep hunting/pecking as they come in/out of stock rather quickly.

Damn you people. Looking to pass some time at work by reading about wolfdale delays and end up covering my monitor in coffee because I can't laugh and drink at the same time.
when you get it back lube it up, insert it into your cavenous rectum and see if you get a date
I'm not techy and I don't follow all this stuff, I just thought maybe someone may have an idea if it'd be a fairly soon-ish or much longer
Ahhhhhh hahaha
Good reply to a smart arse reply, and BTW I think the "date" he was referring to was the date of when they will be available.
I'd say you'll have to just keep checking up on suppliers in the EU. From what I can tell the Wolfdales are only being produced in 1 maybe 2 fabs. I'd imagine they are trickling out in limited numbers and due to what I would perceive as popularity, so they get snatched up right quick.
