Any news on your card yet? Outpost emailed me and said they expect to
have them in stock by 7/3/04, want me to contact them then for a ship
date..

No go for 7/3.. They now say check back in a week..

I called today around 12:00CT and got Mark on the phone as well. He
said that they were due in today and that they typically receive
shipments later in the afternoon.
The wait is frustrating, but the fact that I'm saving $70 off the MSRP
($400) and NOT paying tax (8.75% here) means that I'll save about $100
compared to buying the card locally.
This is going to be a nice upgrade from my TI4400!!
Ok, I just got off the phone with them again...
I was originally told that the cards would be in on the 28th - didn't
happen.
I was then told that the cards would be in on tht 3rd. This actually
happened (on the 2nd)... unfortunately, they didn't get ENOUGH to cover
all of their pre-orders.
I asked the woman on the phone where I was in line and she didn't know,
she did tell me that they currently have 94 of these video cards on
backorder.
She also has no idea as to when they will be receiving any more cards.
They currently have 150 on order with no estimated date.
Geez... it would certainly be nice if they would give this kind of info
to me in an e-mail periodically.
I'm going to keep my eyes peeled and if I see a comparable deal, I'll
cancel my order with Outpost.com.
My thought exactly, I'm sure we're at the bottom of the list toThis kinda sounds like Fry's/Outpost is playing the waiting game on you
guys. Since they haven't taken any cash from you they can screw around for
weeks and not be legally obligated to deliver the goods. Looks like they
are hoping you'll get tired of the wait and cancel the order. Could be
wrong and I hope not for your sakes. I got a ATI X800pro from them ($399) a
month ago and can't complain about the service but this is getting very
suspicous if you ask me.
I wish I had caught that $329 deal at Buy.com on the 6800GT... I'd have
snapped that one up and canceled my outpost.com order.
Icer said:Well.. this email makes it sound like I am NEVER going to get this...
Yep.. I don't mind waiting but they are setting me up for what looks
to be a loooong one. I've been leaning more towards getting an XT
anyway so maybe its all for the better.. if I could only FIND one for
