I ordered it on the freakin' 29th, and they still haven't shipped it. IT'S THE 15TH OF NOVEMBER!!!! They emailed me saying they've had a bunch of shipments but "none have been available for my order". Argh. The order tracking has even bumped into my order history. It's not even pending anymore. WTF?!

newegg has an xfx oc unit available...for $320 + shipping.

I know; I'm sending a Customer Care ticket-thingy right now. It's just ridiculous cause like 4 other people here ordered it the same day and it shipped the same day.
EDIT: And BryanW, no way I'm paying 70 bucks more than I paid. Thanks for listing it though!

$250 is a fantastic price for 8800gt. It's worth the wait imho since you should still get it fairly soon.

Ill sell you FOUR 3870's for $1000

don't fall for that! he tried that with me, but I managed to get ONE from newegg for $225 shipped...and now I have some anti-pomeranian spray that I need to return...

Perhaps they're dicking you around on purpose. Why let one fly out the door at $250.00 when they can fufill orders placed at $300? Sounds highly unethical, but with other orders being filled and yours isn't, makes one wonder. Maybe they're hoping you'll cancel. No sweat of their nads..

You did good bryan. Wow, I thought they'd launch at $250. Let's see how long it takes for your $225 price to vanish from the internet. Come on Newegg, you know you want to...

HIS is OOS again...for like the 4th time today...

I'm telling you, newegg hates to run out of stock. They priced them at 219.99 for a reason. I wish I could get excited, but I think that the people who buy it for under $200 will be the real winners here...

No man you should be pretty happy. God with what's happening with the GT, it would be foolish marketing to drop the price any lower. At $225 shipped, that's a damn good card. You summed it up well in another post, Crysis can wait, there are plenty of good games to be played right now.

im in the exact same position..i fell ur pain...but since i only payed $249 ($260 with tax) for it...i will stick with it...the offer is way better than the $230 3870....tho the 8800gt nows...are overpriced.

Oh god I hope not. I'll be a little more than pissed if that's what they're pulling.
