The unfortunate part is that the cost is $239 + shipping.

Komplett.co.uk updated thier date to 26th of November.
Ebuyer.co.uk getting about 50 of each in 5 to 8 days.
The official release date was suppose to be Monday, 19th. So lets see how available they are tomorrow.
There's actually quite a few listings now. http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=hd3870Quote:

I still have my 7900GTX card and won't be replacing it anytime soon...it's nice to knwo that it's covered under eVGA lifetime warranty.
I think Power Color is the only ATI distributer that offers a lifetime warranty. I've read bad things about Sapphire:Quote:

See thats the thing i had only Sapphire cards and not one thing ever went wrong on them since they are the actuall contractor for ATi cards.Quote:

Any update about that bios that is supposed to fix the OC wall?
Same as me! When I saw this offer they had 8 in stock, but after placing my this number felt to 3! So in 5 minutes time someone bought 3 more cards :D .Quote:
