And the usual whining begins.
At least when you order from Newegg and it says IN STOCK they mean it is fricking IN STOCK and you can get it next day. None of this order it, and receive an email the next day saying "Sorry, it is on backorder."
Being an early adopter is ALWAYS expensive. If you don't like it, wait. In a few months prices will backpedal and things will settle down.

You guys crying over newegg price gouging on their C2Ds are funny. Since when is the latest Intel C2D necessary?
And what if newegg didn't "gouge" and sold them at MSRP? You very likely wouldn't have gotten one anyway because they would have sold out in a very short period of time and you'd find yourself crying about that too...
And lets not lose perpective. If any of you guys have owned a house for a while, the value has very likely gone up... a lot. If you go to sell it, wouldn't you ask for the highest possible price the market could bare? Thought so... and a roof over our heads is a lot more necessary than the latest chip of silicon.

Is the price high? Hell yes it is, mistake or not.
Are most of the products they have pretty damn cheap? Hell yes they are.
Don't buy the CPU from them if you don't like the price. I do like newegg, and i shop with them when it works for me, but I will be picking up the cpu from frys because its alot cheaper and faster.

It looks like newegg is beginning to fix the prices. The processor listing still shows the old prices but if you click on the 6400 it shows a price of $299 and the 6300 shows a price of $249
Still a price bump of over $70 above MSRP but not as bad as it was.

Newegg has added the E6700 at $639.00...about a 20% markup from the MSRP of $530. Not great, but nowhere near as terrible as the initial 6300 and 6400 prices were.
If they manage to post the E6600 with a markup of 10 to 15%, I'd snag one. At 20% though, I'd still hold off.

I second buy.com. I have ordered a sound card and digital camera memory from their at great prices. I also picked up the e6600 for 339 clams.
You guys are honestly illiterate. I just ordered my e6400 from them for $299.99. The e6300 is $249.99 on newegg.
It was a mistake, the prices are now $299.99 for the e6400 and $249.99 for the e6300.
e6400 on newegg
e6300 on new egg $249.99

hence why I have been calling them screwegg for over a year now....They rock on prices for stuff that is not just coming out...
yeah, it was a mistake that just happened to last for over 6 hours that persisted even after they fixed other incorrect details about the product and recieved probably thousands of irate emails and phone calls.
Not the worst mistake they could make, from a shaking down the consumer point of view.

The sorry peeps are anyone who paid those prices...they probably had like 20 units each...LOL!!!!
