Euro pricing and USD for computer components usually don't follow exchange rates.

Guess that makes you guys better off than our British friends, as they'll have to shell out 950$ for a GTX

Its becuase the INQ are doing what everyone does. They take the UK price INCLUDING 17.5% sales tax then say 'OMG its $950!' No, take the sale tax off before you start saying its X Y and Z in other countries.

Besides, my 7800GTX 256 last year cost me £430 at launch. £500 for a G80 isnt really that much of a difference. Take the 7800GTX launch price in the US, add $100 or so then thats basicly the difference. Its just people with no common sense making a mountain out of a molehill.

I know - was meant as a joke more than anything else. The point that you cannot convert the prices to other currencies had been made already in this thread, so I figured that'd fit perfectly.

And the 512mb 7800GTX was £525 at launch so £500 for the 8800GTX? Pah! Prices are coming down at least

Snowballs chance in hell I'll buy one at launch, I'd rather put that 500 quid toward a 60" 1080p plasma panal.
