Why not post picture of all the CPU packaging? Have you tested it yourself already?
You can't use an AM3+ processor with an AM3 motherboard but you can use an AM3 processor with an AM3+ motherboard. All AM3+ sockets are identifiable with its distinct black socket instead of the white that AMD has used in the past.

if intel just announce pricec drop of 10%, will totally estroy the BD launch.

that price increase is bcoz of exchange rate.

They could spoil AMD launch if they really wanted to cut the price down, dont forget SB can officially run 3.6Ghz @ stock volt. 2700K is just 3.5GHz.

If I were Intel shareholder, I would personally love to take this chances to kill AMD down to VIA size. There is absolutely no reason to have a competitor keep messing with you. Monopoly is most if not all businessman ultimate goal.

The big question is how much!

What I mean is that recommended retail prices in the US at least match SB for the most part. The retail prices here right now are ridiculous, that's all.

Same applies.
With such performance, I doubt sellers want to hold stocks.
It could hardly sell if it's MYR900++.
The longer they keep the stock, the more they lose.
The price will be slashed to dump stock or make it "sell-able" again (i.e. MYR7xx).

Yes, I think you sellers should gather together and talk to AMD to lower down the price.
Otherwise you sellers will have problem to clear the stock.
