Andddd they're out.

£349.99 ex vat is the cheapest one i've found, but i haven't really been looking to hard.

rediculous price, makes me wanna consider getting the X2 instead.

I'll have to read some reviews.. see how much more better the GX2 is.

Yer, I don't pay VAT at all. Channel Islands are VAT exclusive, one of our few perks of this place. But the UK just tax the F out of us at any chance they get, especially on imports.

Saved over £400 already on my new PC just on VAT.

Edit: and wheyyy, found a cheap one! (I say cheap in the loosest possible way) Dabs.com has a MSI GX2 in for £301 ex vat! but theirs none in stock, tempted to slip in a preorder.

I might just wait then SLI the 8800 GTX ultra as the 9800GX2 will effect the 8800's alot.

I could :).

Two are selling for £305 each on eBuyer (Inno3D and PoV I think..). not a bad deal, shippings £11 though.

Got mine off Microdirect where shippings only £3.
