Lol, the thread here:-
http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showth ... t=18607925

the owner, Gibby, does say it will drop to £669 after the initial batch and there's enough to go around :lol:
Unfortunately, OCUK are known for shameless price gouging so I expect it may end up being around the £569-£639 mark at other retailers such as Amazon once they receive stock, still overpriced at that though.

That price definitely has to be a huge upcharge because the $799 on Asus site means it should be around £469 for folks in the UK.
