I did my pre-order on eu.evga.com, not so long after release. I did not realize then how rare even the pre-order button was going to be. After that, the availability issues started, the whole "whoops, forgot to fill pre-orders and sent some cards to retailers"-debacle happened. Maybe it was a mistake or it was just business. Still, I was not worried, I had my pre-order in and was going to get a 1080 FTW soon because I had some priority.
But now I'm reading that FTW's are trickling down to US retailers and pre-orders but EU (and apparently Canada) pre-orders are getting nothing, let alone retail stock. I'm really hoping that the update that was promised today is some positive news on the EU (and Canada - I won't forget you guys

) situation.
