    Seems like the 3D version of the G73 SW (G73SW-91105V) will be available in Europe next week. All retailers are reporting "available as of 14.02.2011". Lowest price is €1719.
    ASUS G73SW-91105V (90N3IA332N3344VL651) | Geizhals.at EU

    Anyone getting it?

    Note that there are a few other configurations available as well. What's different is the amount of RAM, the HDDs and the optical drive. All models starting with G73SW-91 have a 120Hz screen. Although none of the 3D models seem to have a BD burner, only a BD reader/DVD burner (not really important to me anyway).

    The G73SW-91105V for €1719 is configured with:
    4GB (2*2048) of RAM (you can easily pop in more into the two unoccupied RAM slots),
    2*500GB Seagate Momentus XT hybrid HDDs
    and a BD reader/DVD writer.
    3D glasses are included. Full specs are here: http://www3.anobo.de/resource?articleNo=56AG73&index=0&name=Datenblatt&type=0

    I guess you missed the memo that Intel has recalled ALL Series 6 chipsets for Sandy Bridge and availability will be a while. Intel doesn't even expect to begin shipping til mid February and that is not full availability.

    Only the H67 and P67. The laptops seems to be using a different chipset for the SATA controllers.

    But I think this will be Modells with the new Chipset, because Intel said that they would have deliverd the first new chips by tomorrow. And why would Asus send out new (defect) Notebooks when they recall the old defect ones.

    Asus wouldn't send out defect notebooks. It only affects Sata ports 2-5, not 0 or 1. At least, I HOPE they wouldn't knowingly send out garbage tech. They're not apple, after all.
