Yup. As far as I see it - everyone gets the chance at least to buy a cheap board, for a cheap upgrade and retailers sell a CPU and memory on top. It could be worse, AMD could be selling off their CPUs for cheap... oh, wait..
For all interested, I've been refreshing E-Buyer for last 5 minutes (even though I got one) and it still quotes them as having more than 20 in stock, they only have the GD65 board at £63 but that's still a great board at a great price!
Was gonna do some Maths in my free period today, but I'd favourited the page on my phone and when I checked the GD-65 had come in early! So I got mine on the school computers at around 12:15 for £63. I'm hoping I'll be able to get an i5-750 for this, but if not, I'll be selling on ebay, sorry!
Every place seems to have done something annoying. CCL - let them go at about 10.30 (luckily I was online then and got a GD65) Scan - let them go early as well, plus they told people they had already been reserved and the price overall was more expensive because somewhere they had added on an extra 80p OCuk - also had them available early but it doesn't seem clear if anyone who ordered actually got one Ebuyer - probably the best of the bunch as they held out until 2pm but they didn't have the GD80.
It is irritating that it was advertised everywhere that it was 2pm, then come the day every company just does their own thing.
