Waiting period on the G400MAX

[X-Kenny-X]

I ordered mine a while ago and I was wondering about how long did you people have to wait for your max's. I know I'm gonna have to wait for a while but I was just curious.

Matrox is pretty stingy about letting anyone but their online store sell them right now. It has angered many online vendors and their customers. If you want one now, just go to the Matrox store. If you want to wait perhaps forever, be my guest. I stuck it out for 2 months before my vendor decided to stop carrying Matrox because they couldn't get any stock.

I ordered the G400MAX August 24 from outpost.com. I am still waiting. Outpost and Matrox said it would ship September 9. For the past four weeks the word from Matrox and Outpost has been "next week"!
My roomate cancelled his oder and opted to wait for the Gee-Force. I really want the dual head. I am a longtime Matrox user. This will replace a Mystique 220 w/RR and two VooDoo2's. Come on Matrox get off your butt and ship the darned thing!

I also got the last one in stock at sg3d.com. :-)

I ordered the f#*!*ing card in mid June
from an online distributor. I'm not able
to cancel the order and so I've been waiting
for over 100 days.

The fact that they advertised this thing in May is un-believably infuriating.

heheh , poor fellas , here in vienna there are plenty of g400max in the stores since september .

I ordered mine on 6th of june and received it in august 2nd. They even gave me a 25$ rebate ;-)

I estimated it would take 2 months until the drivers are good and yepp , there we are with the turbogl drivers on october 8.

Which vendor, Nightshade? Did they charge your card yet?
