Default Prices ...

First pre-order pricing rates in EU. Not the €400 that was rumoured, but also not the $280 that was 'promised' in an earlier video. None of the stores have this board in house, so the question also remains if this will be the final retail price.

Those are really small shops in Austria and they are known to be ... lets say for trying to make their way with the help of these comparison platforms. With all the problems that normally includes. So I would not say that these prices are very accurate.

Any experience with the price of these shops? Enough to make an estimate on the 'normal' retail price?

thats is the price it will go for se here what the big shop komplett is taking for it!!

http://www.komplett.dk/k/ki.aspx?sku=632341


2990 danish kroner is 400 euro

And here is the second biggest shop in DK and it is 7 euro more

http://www.shg.dk/Bundkort/GIGABYTE-...C-2254009.html

i got my Rampage III black edition for that price så my word is that the Gigabyte mobo is way to expensive!

Here is some more prices from eu

Why, is the R3E Black out ?
AFAIK the R3EB will go for 400$ or even more.
