MSI Cyclone 6850, when is it out?

[Shovelware]

On Nov 4th there were stories of the MSI Cyclone 6850's coming out soon. All the stories seemed to be just a summary of a press release and all seemed to have the same info.
I haven't been able to find any fresh info since. MSI doesn't even have their existing 6000 series cards on their USA website that I could find.
The card looks pretty tasty and with 6850 prices in their current upward bump I could see myself waiting for this to release. It could potentially be the quietest of the bunch which is a factor for me.
"Soon" is pretty vague though. Shopping season is now. Anyone have any intel on a release date for these?

Do what I'm doing, check NewEgg everyday and wait for them to show up.
NewEgg likes to post new stuff at MSRP for 1-2 days, so if you're fast you (might) be able to get them at the regular price.

Well, I guess that works for any retailer website.
Same concept.

side note - Speaking of checking newegg everyday there is a new 6850 on there I just saw tonight by Diamond.

I guess with the regular MSI 6850 currently being $205 on newegg there is not much hope for the Cyclone version debuting as a sub $200 card.
I hear ya on grabbing a deal at full retail before the price goes up. This is the first time Ive ever been in the market for a current generation card and the waiting for the cards to drop to full suggested retail price is sooooo weird.
