Yup. Welcome to AMD snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Looked this morning and everything is at least 150 bucks over MSRP.

Today, launch day, in Spain the available models range from €800 to €1000+

Yeah, EU prices seem nuts. A glance at Romania's biggest retailer shows them at the equivalent of 750 to 900 across the 9070 and XT variants. Unlike the prices you report in Spain that's still less than the 5070 Ti on the same outlet (somehow), but it still fundamentally changes the value proposition here.

I haven't checked France and Germany, but I expect it'll be a similar story.

Just saw one retailer in Germany (nbb) still with one 9070 XT for 689€ (MSRP I guess), but when you click the listing, you get an error. The rest are 800€+

Other retailers I checked are all sold out, even at 900€, if they even have the 9000-series.

On geizhals (website to check and compare prices for tons of different shops) is only one single 9070 XT listing, a 900€ model directly from the ASUS store and even there you get a 404.
