Went into best buy for a new appliance and talked a bit with their customer service. When I had them check on the next instock of the 5870 -the website was OOS- they told me they had them in their local warehouse. They were able to order me a xfx 5870 for 389 with the 10 percent off coupon. I could only do instore pickup trough their oms system.

Big YMMV on this one so I would recommend you call your local BB and ask them if you do the same. Try to keep this deal at AT for a bit and dont xross post this at SD so us ATers can get in on this !!!

Anecdotally they also told me they were going to get the visiontek 5870 and 5850 instore soon as well.

Edit 11/6 OOS ; ;

Nice find. I see the base price on their website for the 5850 is $269.99 and with 10.5% tax that puts me at the $300ish mark =/
 
There is a 10 percent off coupon floating around that you can print and use since these at at regular prices.

10.5% sale tax?
Ouch, where the hell do you live or from, I just want to make sure I won't move there myself?
 
I just called my local best buy- none in stock and the main warehouse doesn't have any- guy couldn't give me any further info besides saying "If our main warehouse doesn't have it then we will not have it this week"
 
I just ordered one at the store here in Michigan, verified that they had 19 in stock at their local warehouse. Should be ready for in store pickup in a week.
 
Went to one in the Minneapolis area today, they have none in the area and no plans to stock them. Microcenter actually said they'll be getting some on Thursday but at ripoff prices- $319 for a 5850.
 
Make sure you ask them to order the card for you via OMS their ordering software and use instore pickup. These will not show up in normal inventory and didnt show up when they looked that way. FYI they had a price mistake with that software a couple of weeks ago and a friend of mine got a macbook air for 750.
 
I have ordered it from TIGER, it's backordered but for $250 clean after BING.
NEWEGG got prices $50 more, now you need to see price drops.

Just an FYI I ordered my card on Monday and got it today. The cards are officially online and sold out within minutes of being posted. Every district distribution center only got 20 of each card and they sold out after they were placed online.

I work there. I ordered them before they were supposed to be ordered. When doing an order with their OMS system they will ask you for an email and you will get an email when your order is ready.

When I went to Best Buy and told them to look in the warehouse I think he just looked at surrounding stores and said they were all out of stock of course. I should just tell them to "use the OMS system" and they will know what that is?

Sirplayalot, are they sold out at the warehouse in IL near Chicago?

GEOrifle are you talking about TigerDirect and how were you able to order from them?

I ordered on wednesday this week. Most of these are probably OOS now since these came from the same pool as the online orders. I had them check again when I was there to pick up mine and they had gone out of stock by then. I did ask them when the visiontek 5870s where comeing in and they said they would be coming in on the 8th of nov and begin stocking them instore.
If someone really wants one call your local BB on Sunday or Monday morning. Im sure they would take payment over the phone if you cant make it that day and hold for later p/u.

I am almost positive we are sold out company wide. I checked my entire region and we have none. Also, BBY.com is sold out so that means we have none in any DC. No stores have them instock either. I know nothing about us getting the Visiontek models, I will check when I work tomorrow. As far as what I was able to pull up, we are not going to be selling them, but if they were added within 3 days or so then I wouldnt have seen it.
