"We have made some changes to the checkout process for EVGA.com 30 Series orders. Now we are using a queue based notification system.

To sign up, use the notification button on the product you would like to be notified for. For everyone who already used the notify button previously, you are already entered. Once product is available (and it is your turn to purchase), you will receive a secure email that will allow you to purchase the product that you received a notification for. Please note that you have 5 hours to place your order, if your order is not complete within 5 hours, the product will be released back into queue system.

Also note that your email address that was used for the notify system MUST MATCH an email that has a registered EVGA account, if an account is not available with that email, you will need to create one before you can purchase.

Also note that this system will be available for US store first and evaluating for other regions."

Yeah, EVGA wanted to alleviate the problem of bots snapping them up as soon as they put a batch up for sale. I saw a story earlier today where Nvidia's CEO said they would be in short supply until the new year because of current demand plus the upcoming holiday season. This sounds like a good way to get one instead of hitting refresh every couple of seconds on an overloaded server that keeps crashing.

For anyone picking one up, feel free to use my discount code for an extra 5 percent off, even if they're already on sale. Just apply code XX95PJN1T76IONP at checkout. Code is good for 5 percent off graphics and motherboards and 10 percent off everything else.

I think they were expecting some limited stock this week on the FTW variants.

Heh, I'll be waiting until around the end of year or after the holidays for the Hydro-copper anyway : ) I'm glad to see they did this though; I saw a lot of people asking for this on their forums.
 
Glad they're taking steps to make sure people get their cards instead of bots. They should've done this at launch but I can think of a few reasons they wouldn't.
Wish they'd go back to the 900 series style of coolers though. These new ones just look gaudy.
