I have appeared from the abyss to tell you that the new 3000 series video cards do not arrive on the day of launch, most if not all stores have the video cards sent to stores at least 3-5 days before the launch if not earlier. Your luck in getting the video card relies on you showing up in line at the store on launch day to inquire and possibly make a purchase.

If the store offered pre-orders, stock may be limited to 1-2 videocards per store, save for the pre-orders.
