Yeah, but the market penetration is over 70%. Lots of people here have access relative to population, but North America is relatively small population-wise (bit over half a billion). Even Europe has a higher population for now.
Maybe the point was to make it look unreal? Don't have a whole lot of knowledge on the subject, but I'm guessing the suit is basically made of the same "stuff" that otherwise comes out of the ring, which is CGI'd.
To provide a little counter-perspective, I have had nothing but good boards from ASUS. I am running a P8P67 Pro (B3 rev) right now and my only issue with it was it needed to adjust the memory voltage/clock speed before it would boot. (Old RAM that wants to run at 1.9v)
Gonna keep an eye on this...
You could probably find a board out there that someone would sell you. No guarantees though. I would just give it time.
Newegg pulled the CPU stock because they didn't have any motherboards to also sell with them, I think. I myself have a sandy bridge machine and will get the replacement...
Massive recall on all the sandy bridge motherboards. Retailers subsequently removed their CPU stock as well as their motherboards. It was all over the web a couple weeks ago.
