Hi
Anyone knows how the launch of the 6700XT is gonna work out?
Is it just like normal way, first come, first served?
Or are they trying to do something to keep the miners away, and let the gamers have the cards?

There has been talk about AMD helping retailers mitigate bots and the like, but otherwise I don't think the method of ordering will be any different.
Ironically, using bots is the best way to get stock alerts, so you can jump in and buy one as soon as it's available. That's how I managed to get a 6900 XT.
On release day, however, you'll just want to manually check at around 9am EDT. Notification bots are useful afterwards when you don't know when stock will come back in.

Conclusion ...
Expensive.
Underperforms versus RTX3070 which is similar MSRP.
Poor Cooler design.
Possibly better idea to wait for RDNA3 or try to get an RX6800XT...
The 6700 XT doesn't have an MSRP. It's actually significantly cheaper than the 3070 in reality.
Oh yes it does have an MSRP....
$479

$479 is the Suggested E-tailer Price, not MSRP. AMD isn't trying to set a normal MSRP because of the state of the market and supply chain.
Nonsense.
Watch the 6700 XT announcement. They did not provide an MSRP. Only what they're calling SEP.
