Where did it launch?

Can't find one. Or any other model.

And ones being claimed to be sold out on Newegg, non XT, are over $800 cad.

Only cards available here is a pair of Gigabyte RX 6800 reference cooler cards and they've been available for at least a week.
Not a single custom card even listed here.

I can also concur, no listings of any cards for 6800/xt, reference or custom on Canada Computers or Memory express.
Newegg is the only site with them listed, all out of stock and well over MSRP even when accounting for conversion
AMD managed to have an even worse launch then Nvidia here in Canada, so I guess they one-upped them in some way.

The "DEVIL" is in the details....

As in the jacked-up prices for all of this "redesigned, re-engineered, more powerful, more efficient and even more Devilish looking" nonsense :(

Uhm... N.O....
