Where'd they go?

So where did all the 58XX's go? I'm up for a good
conspiracy theory.

Was ATI lying when they said they had shipped
tens of thousands of chips to the manufacturers
to support the release?

Did Nvidia buy up all the stock to glean a clue?

Did Fonzi realy jump that shark?

Enquireing minds...

Dell got most of them.

Porbably had to ship them all back because they won't fit in most
peoples cases.

"Tens of thousands" spread over the world isn't saying much. A handful of
them are in stock here if you are ordering from the US:

I certainly hope the production rates improve. Wouldn't want another
"Platinum Edition"...

Yea, people in the know jump on them ASAP so they sell out quickly on
the first run. I got my 5870 a couple of weeks back from newegg.ca and
it was $50.00 less than what NCIX was selling the same card for. Most
of the NCIX listings were just advertised prices with no actual stock.
