    To much for me

    I would rather get a UD5 for almost $100 cheaper and has plenty of features that can be used for other things. Plus from Chews report it OC's just as well, if not better is some cases.

    what are they thinking there seriously

    they are making it real easy for people to decide to import from USA. That's what a lot of people in Australia are now doing if they see any company trying to charge stupid pricing. Even UK ive seen ppl order from to get it quick and at better prices.

    Looking forward though to give this retail OC board a spin next week... I think it will be better to NOT do a live stream :p
    i dont think you get my drift, maybe wait for a few more days it will come to you

    The concept is EXCELLENT...

    But somewhere along the way it clearly flucked up... Dont know, and frankly; dont care if it was too expensive marketing, too expensive fluckup somewhere along the process of going from initial samples to MP.... Shift happens, but I think it blows that Gigabyte isnt just sucking it up and thinking just a tiny bit ahead...
    The concept has a massive potential, we, the overclockers, worships products like this. But making the end users sucking up for the mistake that the company (Gigabyte) made might result in the entire concept will fail, it is really jeapodizing things....

    It is DIRECTLY against everything that Gigabyte used to promote the product... The concept was TRIMMED PRODUCT TO BENEFIT COST AND HAVE QUALITY COMPONENTS FOR THE OVERCLOCKERS.
    So now they've removed the to benefit cost from the equation....

    ---
    *It might just be a big mistake and misunderstanding, maybe the price that will reach the end users of ~590 USD will be changed ALOT.... One can only hope.
    I'd say at 400 USD it is BANG FOR THE BUCK, even at 450 USD, would be cool... 349 USD would make most sense though.

    I think the product is AWESOME, I almost wet my pants when I was within 30cm of the board during CeBIT this year. It is certainly NOTHING bad against the product - it is something against the way that it is being handled by management.

    Oh might be worth mentioning that I am checking on;
    www.komplett.dk, matches the prices of www.komplett.se & www.komplett.no pretty well.... This is Scandinavias by far biggest IT store, and also represented outside Scandinavia; Ireland (www.komplett.ie), Holland (www.komplett.nl) & more..?

    I mean, this is a serious player, not just "any" webshop, but a vast massive beast... So it is a concern if they misunderstod something along the way :-/

    From the newegg they are

    OC Board $419.99 including tax & shipping to me. This has $8.50 for shipping
    UD5 $308.50 including tax & shipping to me. This has free 2 day shipping

    Taxes in California are getting pretty high these days

    This is a nice board for sure and has some very nice features and I suspose with markets these days things are costing more. UD5 is prolly stock they have had for a long time also and OC is bran new so... but over $100

    I don't know, with the price of motherboards these days I am picking what I want/need pretty carefully. I used to go for boards like UD7's, but now UD5's or UD4/UD3's are doing what I need just fine.

    the absolute truth, no love on this coast and what sucks is since most of the vendors have a presence out here the consumer gets stuck with the higher price due to tax's and other fee's (lcd environmental fee anyone)

    I really want this board but for $420 otd I am going to have to pass, what happened to $250 gigabyte

    PcCI2iminal, nice one!

    I just noticed on newegg that they've listed them as a limited edition. Would anyone know how many boards Gigabyte are making?
    Hope Australia doesn't get left out!

    As far as I can tell they only made 4, one for me and 3 for PcCI2iminal and the other boards for the reviewers.
