But heres the real question.
From gameve are they REALLY instock or is it more like preorder?

 

[GeneralGrievous]

Damn. This is hard to hold off on. I wonder if I could get someone to buy this for me to get an employee discount.

Yeah the Best Buy website says they're sold out yeah. Such a shame.

Lol, it's now sold out - I had a 399.99 X800 pro w/best buy on backorder since the 20th of May - Just noticed this price change last night - called them today - was told to cancel and re-order. .. Placed my order around 11amEST today. Damn this card for all its worth.

its a preorder and initial pricing from them...you know damn well they are gonna try and gouge the hell outta the people who jump on things first. So when it really hits shelves it may not cost that much man....just wait and see what a true retail price will be

I totally agree. Once all the small computer shops and online stores like newegg have the newer cards, I'm certain the prices will plummet. I've never seen a "PRO" ATi card go for more than $300. I remember buying my R8500 a couple months after its release for $340CDN.

Youve gotta wait man for your own benefit....the early adopters are ALWAYS gonna get the shaft there is no way around it.

yeah its hard to wait, especially when you have the money in your pocket, its killing me to wait for the 68gt...Im planning on waiting till the middle of june or so to buy one, just so freaking hard when x8pros are selling for like 350

you need to get out more. the 9700pro started at 400$, as did the 9800pro with 128mb, while the 256mb version was 500$. all those figures are usd.

waiting sucks no doubt about it....but Ill be damned if I rush out and buy ANY ONE of these cards just yet....youll get raped with out the vasaline right now....so no friggin way...Ill wait till july or later, Ive got the cash on hand but I wont jump just yet....Im still waiting on more mature card and driver reviews.
NOT "mature" beta vs. full out beta reviews...like those that are out now.

 

[TimisoaraKill]

One month after release in big quantities the X800 Pro will proly be 289-300 $ and the X800XT something alround 450-470$ .
ATI will proly also release in this period some 16 pipes X800XT but with 450 mhz core and less memory speed as a card betwen the Pro and the XT priced @ alround 400$.

 

[Schadenfroh]

ill wait for the 6800gt to be below 400

 

[GeneralGrievous]

I don't understand how Nvidia can release the GT at $460 and expect to sell any. With ATI it was different at the X800 Pro was first out the door. The GT has a much lower priced competitor here.

dude its a PREORDER right now they coulda stuck 1$ as the price...doesnt mean itll sell at that price.
wait till the cards are out then we will see what the prices will be.
and on a side note it isnt NV thats selling the crad for $460 that was asus's doing (i believe it was asus at gameve) and we all know asus cards cost more.
just wait till everything is OUT....not on preorder.
