AMD's Radeon HD 7970 is now available for sale, who is buying me one?

AMD's next-generation single-GPU Radeon HD 7970 is now available for sale, whilst not officially available until tomorrow, everyone likes to get in early. Newegg have already thrown their 7970s up for sale tonight.

Newegg have cards available from all of AMD's major North American partners, HIS, Gigabyte, XFX, ASUS, Sapphire, and PowerColor. Because they've just launched (and most likely because there's no competition), most of them are at the AMD MSRP of $549. The ASUS card is $589, and XFX's custom-cooled and overclocked model is $599.

There's no official word from AMD on the Radeon HD 7970 availability. Now, which of you amazing readers (or companies? ;)) would like to send me 2 for my rig? Am I kidding? I guess you'd only find out by sending me a few. On a more serious note, if you get your hands on one, be sure to comment and let us (and everyone else) know!
