While waiting for the Dark Hero, just found Asus 3090 ROG Strix for sale and the price is amazing.. Only one card from some add. new, unpacked
Gonna call tomorrow!! woohoo

I wonder whether the absence of a release date for the Dark hero is some kind of tactical delay by Asus to avoid this drawing a bunch of flack for another "paper launch"? I.e. that they've calculated that they simply don't have enough stock to meet the anticipated demand at launch so they're delaying whilst they build up stock levels (and hope that some of the demand diminishes by people switching to alternative boards). If that were the case I'd much rather that they just came out and said something like that instead of continuing to promote the board whilst, at the same time, resolutely staying quiet on the release date.

Yeah, I noticed that this morning. I tried to get some answers from the "official distributor" via telephone but couldn't get through, so I've pinged them via Twitter instead.Just noticed, in some other web shops (included Asus official distributor) the board has been disappeared or moved onto discontinued status. What the hell is going on? I am really considering to buy a different board than.

This may be old news but I just stumbled across this which indicates that Dark Heros arrived with ROG US on Wednesday last week and will shortly be with channel partners there.
This doesn't particularly shed any light on the situation in the UK of course but they do make the point that there will be "replenishment shipments" coming in. To my mind this is a clear enough hint that initial supplies might be sparse there so that will probably have a bearing over here too.
My Hero Dark has just been shipped from somewhere else!! They do exist!
