I don't know where you are going with this, but you're not making sense. Of course review sites had cards prior to launch. How do you think they get the reviews ready for launch day? It takes time to do a review, why wouldn't they have cards before the offical launch? What do you think the NDA is for?
whatever it is, if it is a bad bios flash there is no reason for us to not be able to flash it back. bios might be corrupt but it is highly unlikly it damaged the card from ever being flashed again.
You say there is "no reason" but you can't make that claim, bad BIOS code can most certainly kill hardware, especially when it powers up/initializes.
