Prices for the XFX Radeon RX 9070 (XT) have appeared on BestBuy and they're up to $250 more expensive than the MSRP.

Yup. Welcome to AMD snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Looked this morning and everything is at least 150 bucks over MSRP.

    Retailers are robbing us blind. They got a 50€ rebate from AMD to sell at MSRP and still gouge us…

      Also seems like AMD only cares about the US again. Everywhere else just gets the crumbs, availability seemingly only a bit better than NVIDIA.

        Mindfactory never had them available (they don’t ship international anymore anyway), and the other stores that had them (and ship intl) you couldn’t even add them to cart. Same in NL and FR (Rue du commerce et al) Joke’s on them, it just made me decide to keep my money and buy them second hand in 1y when the new shiny thing is on the market.

        I would enjoy catfishing a couple of scalpers to give them a stern talking to with a baseball bat. Fucking parasites.
