    Waiting for Asus to reply about the warranty of this item, the G50vt X8 advertised on newegg recently got sold out and I was wondering if there were any other websites that sold this model with the warranty intact.

    Its only been around for like 5 days so no other site would have chance at getting a supply. The warranty is the same as any reseller asus. Newegg consistently misses info when entering it in, easier to see when you look at two of the same product, say different color or something and they dont have the same info in.

    Like the X6 atleast for the US was only authorized for newegg.

    thanks, grr looks like i'll have to wait for a reshipment. On average do you know how long it takes for them to restock?

    No clue it was a huge surprise that it even popped up, no prior rumors or announcements it showed up the day after the G51VX-RX05 officially came out.

    hehe! Mine is in the "Shipped" status, so I suppose it's coming. :) Hopefully, it gets here on Tuesday. I mean, Sacramento isn't too far from LA.

    Looks like it's out of stock again today. It was in stock all day yesterday.

    I don't understand newegg. This PC popped out of nowhere, nobody was talking about it, and then it quickly went out of stock again. They must have had like 3 of them or something. Cleaning out their closets perhaps?
