radeon 8500 in europe

I've seen the radeon 8500 for the first time on the price lists now in finland. It is selling for 2161 FIM (roughly 210£). The cheapest Geforce 3 is still selling for prices slightly above 2600 FIM (260£). the ASUS AGP-V8200 DELUXE GEFORCE3 64MT DDR, TV-OUT/IN actually is selling for a whopping 3298 FIM. Almost a third more than the Radeon.
This would make the Radeon 8500 a very intersting deal. Similar performance for less, and more features.
I'm certainly thinking about buying one.

although it says it isn't in stock though
aria.co.uk
dabs.com

can't seem to find the ti500 anywhere in England though

i haven't seen the Ti500 either here, but that doesn't mean much since I haven't seen the Ti200 either.
The Ti500 will probably end up being priced as 4560998,45 FIM (plus 1 pound of your liver and half your leg)

Actually Verkkokauppa.com in Finland is selling Radeon 8500 for 1980 FIM. The cheapest TI200 is 1769FIM (Elsa) and the cheapest TI500 is 2879FIM. So go ATI... There are also about 100 people in the new Radeon order queue in verkkokauppa.com ...
