Preface, fuck GPU threads, but I want something answered:
What's the deal with the "$199" 480?
I saw it, I thought "Damn that looks nice, Imma get one!", now shit's all $350. The fuck?
Is this just the retailers not having as many as demand asks for so they're bumping up the price like cunts, or the OEM's just charging more because fuck it?
If it's the retailers then fuck that, they're never gonna drop the price down, why would they?
If it's the OEM's, then when the fuck will we see a $199 card?
Lucky me, I can get them for £239 ($312) in the UK
There are 100,00p RX 480 shipping in the next week or two; hopefully it will fix the price problem.

Blame the fucking miners. They're buying up all the stock and for the moment AMD's first run is struggling to keep up with the demand. Retailers, being the greedy shits they are, have taken the opportunity to jack up prices in response because they know the miners will still grab it.
There's also likely some yield issues that need to be worked out since this is a brand new node after all.
