I just received this email and I couldn't help but share. This is golden internet. I'm an avid XFX customer and this is what they just sent me:

Dear XFX Customers,

In light of recent events, we have come to suspect that one of our 5970 Black Edition Limited cards may have been compromised. In our current inventory check of this limited run of 1,000 individually serialized pieces, #68 has been unaccounted for. Due to evidence of a security breach in our facility, we believe it to have been illegally obtained as the product has yet been released per the embargo date. Please be aware that the person responsible will be subject to persecution by law. If any news can be provided to lead us to the apprehension of the suspect, or you can provide us with any information, please report it to security@xfxforce.com. Please do not attempt to buy, trade, or barter for this unit. We thank you for your cooperation and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Sincerely,
XFX

For those wondering what the 5970 Black Edition Limited card is, here's a YT video I ran across:



Seriously XFX? You just told your entire customer base that someone has stolen one of your cards? I guess it's a good way to get the word out there and find the perpetrator, but I hate to tell you ... You are not America's Most Wanted.

During the writing of this post, I started thinking ... Could this be a viral campaign to raise awareness of the product? It very well could be. If so, bravo XFX. If not, that's a big boo boo XFX. :-)
