One reason that would support it as a shortage is...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102856

Already a Customer's choice award winner... That was freaking quick. and that is Just sapphire, and that is just Newegg. imagine the other manufacturers and the other websites as well.

Somehow, I don't see ATI trying to become the next Nintendo. It's just not profitable, and ATI is in no financial position to be playing games with the market.


I'm just curious about ATI's plans regarding debt management. I'll be very interested in the company if they've got running plans to downsize their debt....

Yes, I think there is an actual shortage. Demand is high, yields, and hence supply is likely poor.

I'm on my second 5850 atm (different brands, different purchase dates, both $259.99), so they are available if you look for them.
