What if the R300 was NOT suppose to be launched today, and we are here for no reason!

ATI LoVeR 8500 · Jul 17, 2002, 12:04 AM

I'd be pretty disapointed. It just turned 12 AM in Markham Ontario(ATi HQ). No reviews/previews up yet. I hope we weren't just being fooled.

instanoodles · Jul 17, 2002, 12:08 AM

SanGreal · Jul 17, 2002, 12:08 AM

I'm in Chicago, but I'll ride my magic carpet their and get their in 2 seconds and ask them why they didn't release the R300 yet.

**G.I.BRO** · Jul 17, 2002, 12:22 AM

Welll.... it is 12AM. Im sure they're sleeping on it.

Im heading out for some ZZZZZ's now. I'll report back here around 1030am, im sure i'll have some info for yeahs.

G'night

ATI LoVeR 8500 · Jul 17, 2002, 12:23 AM

Ok, I'm back they said something along the lines of "We are going to call the Royal Mounties if you come back here again. It's the damn 9th time this week you broke our door down. We won't be releasing the R300, now, go away!"

Spiritwalker · Jul 17, 2002, 12:50 AM

Just because it is now the 17th doesnt mean that the NDA has lifted. It may be set at 12 Noon Toronto time or something similar

monkeyboy · Jul 17, 2002, 12:59 AM

My guess is..... wait for Steve Jobs Keynote speach at MWNY. The dates seem to coincide quite nicely. If it aint announced then, don't expect it this week!

Skinner · Jul 17, 2002, 02:04 AM

I thought the launchdate was the 17th and in the US it's still midnight...

just wanted to tell you folks that we have clocks here in Cologne, too

They now show around 13:13 (nice numbers, eh?)

well... i guess we will see a paper-launch anyways.... like with the n-force2. No Benchmarks, only worthless PR-bull$hit.

CU
and happy day!

HiThere · Jul 17, 2002, 06:40 AM

But you don't understand...that worthless PR will fuel us in our debate, giving us something to do while we wait the added couple of weeks, clinging to the hope that a new graphics card will somehow create world peace and become a cheap, renewable fuel source.

mavis · Jul 17, 2002, 07:16 AM

oh yeah? I got all you guys beat...

It is now 21:16, July 17, here in Tokyo.
