Not trying to be a buzz kill I just want people to give their system what it needs.

Yep, hence the edit. I'd need to do just the same as I don't have a 8 pin PCI-e cable included with my PSU (newer versions have). Came with extra EPS12V cable, that could be modded as one.

--------------------------------------------------------

Items not listed above are not affected by this backorder notification.

Your order status can change quickly as we do our best to fulfill your order, and it's possible that by the time you read this email the delay affecting your order might have been fixed. It's also possible that the items you ordered could still be unavailable.

Sincerely,

Customer Support
If you need phone support, we will be happy to email you our number.

On their website, my order is still "In the shipping process" with no information as to when they will send it to me.

This entire situation is really pissing me off. I understand that there was a nice deal, but when you run out of product, maybe you should stop selling it? Maybe you should also tell me about it as soon as you know, and maybe you shouldn't just say that I can wait or cancel (which I couldn't do even if I wanted to), but instead tell me when you will be sending me my order? :banghead:

EnergyFX · Jan 15, 2009

paulm, I got the exact same email today.

At least that is better than them just canceling the order.

paulm · Jan 15, 2009

True, but still, I'm not liking how they're handling things.

I understand they can't take care of everything, but at least give some information telling me what the hell is going on...

I'm curious, will they refund me the shipping I paid?

paulm · Jan 15, 2009

Hello Paul,

I have double-checked our records and it shows that the item#208290483 was on backorder when you placed your order on 1/10/09. I understand your frustration and I apologize for any inconvenience.

Apparently the item was on backorder when I placed the order? Seems they just delayed in updating their site...

Still no ETA on shipment date though.

Asylum · Jan 15, 2009

Sounds like good news to me...Looks like you going to get it as soon as they do!!

I was under the impression that the point of this entire sale was to get rid of the 280's ASAP?

I hope your right though...

Delivery is scheduled for tomorrow. Going to post some photos if I get the time for it.

paulm · Jan 16, 2009

Mine has gone to "Sent to warehouse"

I don't think I'm getting the card...

AddSub · Jan 16, 2009

They arrived.

Homeless · Jan 16, 2009

I hate you. I received an email today stating that my order cannot be fulfilled and gave me a $5 coupon

EnergyFX · Jan 16, 2009

I just got cancelled. But they gave me a $5 gift certificate as an apology.

<-- calmly picks up telephone and clears throat...

Wow, that is totally gay.:shadedshu

I just finished installing them. Temperatures are identical to my old GTX 260-192 cards. Noise is same. Need to do some benchmarking.

Yeah, I saw lot of reports on Overclock.net of people receiving $5 or $10 coupons. As for all of these unshipped orders, I think that if your card hasn't shipped by now, then chances are that it won't ship at all.

This was a lottery.

DarkEgo · Jan 16, 2009

They canceled my oreder. I am going to see If I can get it sent to me, If they say no, I will threaten them with Informing people how bad there business is, here, on XS, and on OC. I am gonna try everything I can to get this card.

paulm · Jan 16, 2009

I got the email but it still shows up in my order history as "Sent to warehouse"

I'm going to call them and find out what I can do.

Good luck. Same exact thing happened with the gtx260 a few months back. I made every threat imaginable with no resolution whatsoever.

This is so sad. I mean, if your not taking no more orders then take down the page and remove all things to get the product, or just disable the "purchase" button so no one can get it. Just in this for the money.

paulm · Jan 16, 2009

They are claiming it is on backorder with no ETA but not cancelled...

Forget it, I'm canceling and getting a card from newegg, this isn't worth the trouble.
