[H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears for Nvidia, AMD, Intel, PS5, XBOX

Wow Newegg. Just wow. Screengrab from a promotional e-mail that came in not long after the PS was linked in this thread. That ain't $185?!

That's some shady shit. (It's a link to a 3rd party seller on Newegg.com) $262 for the same thing! Thanks for the heads up Newegg!

You guys are welcome to give Tech Drops Discord a go. Bassman scored a PS5 through there. Make sure you hit the Role channel and react to which ever it is your looking for so you get alerts when items are picked up.

It's 2 days old so still having features tweaked and such but it was created because of salty mods on a Xbox stock discussion discord that wanted to blend the stock channel into gen pop chatter. So most that help in the channel are pretty seasoned in how this stuff works.

Just got my PS5 order placed from a notification on the TD Discord.

Thank you for the tip!
 
Any gut feelings on the next BB drop? Been refreshing today since it's Tuesday...
 
Just picked up a 3070 from Roguecast. Went to reload with a card I added my dad's name/address to and it was OOS. Distill was monitoring their GPU page. Whoever turned me onto them here [H], thank you. Also, [H]orde, keep the info here :)
 
3080 in the newegg shuffle today, but only combined with an expensive motherboard or power supply. Plus the price is out there just for the card. Bummer.

The price might've been out there 6 months ago, but we're in a different era. That card goes for $2200-$2400 on ebay. The bundled item doesn't matter, can't really be nitpicky in the current market unless you're committed to never getting a card.

:O is this normal??? literally have to wait an hour to see if you got picked or not?

Its normal. And you most likely wont get picked. In about 15 minutes or so itll pop up a message and say its sold out and you didnt get one..... Ive done it a few times... Their system is garbage. It just randomly selects people rather than giving priority for a place in line. So even if you were one of the first ones in, you dont have any greater chance of getting one over someone who was last in starting the queue. I have had zero luck getting a ps5 from ps5 direct so....GL.

Now it says 8 minutes left. Let's see what happens.



EDIT: YAH NO, this is garbage lol.

"PS5 consoles are out of stock for the day, however, we still have PS5 accessories and PS5 games available. We are working continuously to make more PS5 consoles available in the future."
 
They always let me in eventfully and let browse to see all stock is gone. Its lame
Has taken the full hour for me before

BB has been dropping them often now. I think they dropped last two weeks in a row. I could have had 5 PS5s by now including the 2 I actually got but I ended up canceling them. Hopefully an employee got them at BB my canceled orders. I know they don't keep them in the store right now and employees are just like us having to get one.

But its really easy to get one there if you catch one during the drop. Can't say the same for GPUs anymore, GPU situation seems to have gotten worst.

I really thought I missed it today because I just remembered it was tuesday lol. They might be dropping this Friday. They do tend to shuffle here and there between Tuesdays and Fridays.

Either Thursday or Friday if the trend holds true. But who the hell knows. All I know is, its a fools errand to pay anything over msrp.

If you aren't willing to pay over MSRP at this point - it's a fools errand to even waste your time looking for a Ampere card.

Unbranded Dell OEM 3080 cards (most likely OEM by PNY design) are ACTIVELY SELLING on ebay for $2k. (ripped out of Alienware and Dell G5 systems)

I guess I'm still holding out for Best Buy like pricing.

No doubt. Keep eyes peeled on BB this coming Friday morning. However I wouldn't even bother trying for a FE card since the whole world is gunning for those now. Better chance trying to grab a less popular outlier model (plain Gigabyte, EVGA XC3) during that tiny window of opportunity.

If there's a drop Friday, it will be a test - and if BB hasn't changed their site code, will likely go by at blur speed since apparently a queue bypass has proliferated among paid bots.

Also you can try to track the page updates with a google chrome plug-in called Distill-IO. You have to make your own page monitoring tools. Here are the pages I walk. I've deleted lots because they didn't do jack. When a page change happens, then it beeps at me. I still get nothing from this but false positives.

The only place you have a chance without a shopping bot IMO is BestBuy at this time - IMO and experience, and the last two times I'm not even sure that's true - because I think the shopping bots may have broken through the safeguards at BestBuy. My wife, and oldest daughter, and I were all trying to get a card last two drops - we had five machines going for three people and got zip.

Cards ARE coming into stock. Notifications go off regularly via the discord channel I linked above, but a mortal with fleshy fingers has NO (zero, zip, nada) chance from Amazon or any of the typical shopping places. They sell out in milliseconds.

Newegg Shuffle and Best Buy are the only ones really trying to help people beat bots. But I've entered in almost every newegg shuffle and never been selected so it seems like a joke too.
EVGA my notify queue too - but it's an absolute joke because they basically don't move the queue --- EVER. I've never been notified on a single card from there:

Youll basically need to trade both the PS5 and xbox + cash for an RTX 3080 because they quite literally sell for over $2000 atm. Sadly.
