    Did anyone read this http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTUxOSwxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==

    NVIDIA implementing a unilateral minimum advertised price policy - They set the minimum price all their products can be advertised at, anyone breaks it and they don't get any more cards to sell, this is in the US at the minute, wonder if they will try it here, i wonder if its even legal, what a pack of B.astards

    you can sell at any price you want you just can't advertise below a certain price, how would that work in practice

    Yeah this has been out for a while now and a few reviews I have read have actually made referance to it ( could have been user reviews, can't remember ) saying that nVidia cards are likely to sell for the rrp, but you will more then likely see ATI cards below the RRP relatively soon after launch. It was not a stock issue , btw.
