Here at Spain we don't get stuff earlier than you, I think. I always watch a little annoyed how other european countries like Germany, UK and so, get the stuff a weak or more before we do. Heck, I even only know of one shop in Madrid where you can buy a HD5850 (HD5870 it's on many more) and at a price tag of... 269€!

Where did you see how it's this card doing poorly against a 4870? I haven't seen any single useful comparison yet, apart from meaningful 3DMark values, and an AMD paper with some data that only God knows in wich test system and conditions is made...
