USB3 devices are coming but your motherboard is not once you buy it unless you upgrade your pc like every year or something
USB2 lasted like how long 10 years? and they are not expensive you gonna be 2$ more for your 300$ motherboard? lol]]>Jul 30th 2009 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/asus-kills-usb-3-0-laden-p6x58-motherboard-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/asus-kills-usb-3-0-laden-p6x58-motherboard-for-reasons-unknown/Jul 31st 2009 12:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/asus-kills-usb-3-0-laden-p6x58-motherboard-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/asus-kills-usb-3-0-laden-p6x58-motherboard-for-reasons-unknown/

To the guy that said ASUS boards suck, Yeah okay whatever you say, I'd probably agree that the low end boards aren't that great but the high end ones are very good. They are pretty expensive though.]]>Jul 30th 2009 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/asus-kills-usb-3-0-laden-p6x58-motherboard-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/asus-kills-usb-3-0-laden-p6x58-motherboard-for-reasons-unknown/Jul 30th 2009 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/asus-kills-usb-3-0-laden-p6x58-motherboard-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/asus-kills-usb-3-0-laden-p6x58-motherboard-for-reasons-unknown/
If I had to guess: I think it might have to do with them getting advanced notice of the next stuff out from intel and that board not being compatible so then it would be pointless to set up a whole factory just to make mobo's that will no longer be cutting edge week after hitting the shop, all the while taking away resources to produce the real next generation.

1. USB3 controller isn't working properly
2. Sata3 Marvell Controller isn't stable or performing at full speed and they dont want to launch the board without sata3.
3. They decided to make all the ports usb3 and not just 2 of them.

There's no point buying a board with only 2 sata3 ports, the usb headers are probably only usb2 too which means the usb ports on the front of your case would only be usb2 speed too. Obviously cases dont have usb3 ports yet but once they do you would be missing out.

Everyone should hold off upgrading until usb3 and sata3 are stable and shipping, also till all the usb ports and sata ports are usb3 and sata3 and none of them are usb2 or sata2.]]>Jul 30th 2009 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/asus-kills-usb-3-0-laden-p6x58-motherboard-for-reasons-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/30/asus-kills-usb-3-0-laden-p6x58-motherboard-for-reasons-unknown/Could Microsoft have asked politely to postpone these for a bit.
