@EVH - Was this the Monday update you was talking about or is there more to come?
Maybe it was the below he was talking about...not sure that it's new, but it's linked to in today's update on the web page (not the forum post)

I mean i'm all for recycling but don't hype up the same thing we already know.
I'd rather have radio silence than false hope.

If they get a small shipment in you'll be in the first batch most likely.

I just don't get why they are still taking orders when they have 1000's of order that they cant fulfil as it is, wouldn't it make sense to try and get through the orders they have then start to take orders after that?!
Is it a sign OCUK aren’t as big of a player in the market as we’re lead to believe? Maybe they need the up front cash to try and secure big shipments. Other retailers don’t seem to have that problem though
Maybe increase buying power and to buffer against mass pre order cancellations?

thanks for putting me at ease, first time doing a GPU pre-order!
Hopefully the silence from Zotac means they're gearing up to send a load of stock at once....a man can dream

Maybe so, must be a nightmare to manage.

This made my toes curl....
"Although we may not currently have the stock available to fulfill every order immediately, we are in the best possible position to acquire it before every other UK retailer. This means the only place to preorder right now is at Overclockers UK!"
Where does it say that?

Having previously visited the OcUK Warehouse, I can't see there being any truth in that - please don't start baseless rumors

It's still early doors, so I'm hopeful we'll have an update in the next day or so. Palit are pretty decent on Twitter for communicating, so any updates are on the retailer now.
I'm out, I've cancelled my order for the TUF (none OC) ...the queue is so long and there are so many people waiting for cards (that one especially) that seem to have sold the one they had, I can help just a tiny little bit by releasing one card, so I have as I really don't need it. I can wait until there is real availability, perhaps next year or maybe AMD will surprise me, who knows but I also don't really want to have my money earning interest for someone else like that, it's just not the way it's 'supposed' to work, not for what seems increasingly likely to actually really truly be months and months rather than just weeks.
I really can't believe how many posts I have read by people who actually sold their only 'decent' card before the launch so now either have nothing or a potato to try and play with, I'm really glad I didn't do that myself.

I'm concerned with the lack of chatter regarding this palit shipment on Gibbos forum. Is it an indication that the ship ended up capsizing or perhaps the shipment was ordered from another UK company?
