The funny thing is, they don't have to launch in September, all they promised was before Windows 7 which it obviously will be.

Why do people get compare two different sorts of launches the same way?
There is how AMD is launching- We have hoards of cards ready but want to do a proper launch and give reviewers enough time but don't want cards being leaked into retail or OEM/distributors to force our hand.

Or the Nvidia launch of- lets rush a handful of cards out to reviewers even though we won't have any decent number of retail cards for a month or two...

Obviously both those situations are soooo similar that they should just be lumped together...
Give me a freaking break.

Edit- WTF, paper launch? 300k cards isn't enough?
