Very very tempting to me as well, but I shall wait till Ryzen 3/5 and RX 500 rebadge cards are released, cause I'm hoping for more price drops and for them to settle down a bit more too.
Ordered, Plus I get free (next Day) delivery with Scan :-

This was on AWD IT last week for £183 i think - BEWARE there are massive reports of issues with this card, crashing forcing hard reset - and no known way to fix.
I purchased last week and after seeing all the comments of people having the same issue, the supplier have asked me to return it.

What a waste of time and money to send these out to have them returned for a replacement / full refund, you wonder how many of these are coming from a faulty manufacturing batch, and how these got through QA...

Been keeping an eye on RX480 prices for a while and this is pretty much the price point I've been waiting for.

Just to add to the quality issues, I got one of these cards two days ago, (not from Scan), and had a terrible time getting it to work - crashes to desktop, freezing, etc. Tried everything - driver cleanup, reinstall Windows etc etc.
Took it back to the supplier who said I was the sixth return that day! The card was running very hot - I think the heatsink wasn't properly seated on the GPU. Declined the offer of a replacement and went for a Gigabyte Rx480 instead. Popped it in my rig and no issues whatsoever. It look as though a bad batch has got out of the factory.

No idea where the helpers/moderators are, have asked this to be unexpired as it is still valid and people could be missing out on a good deal. :disappointed:

I got an email yesterday saying the Game Code was out of stock. SCAN state a problem with their automated system as the Card wont dispatch without the Game Code being in stock :-(
Hopefully the issue will be resolved today and the card dispatched tomorrow instead (I don't give a monkey for the game)
