Damn! I was in a meeting when I saw that Amazon alert and couldn't react quickly so I didn't even bother... much regraetsSeems some Microcenters got as many as 100 x EVGA 3080's in this morning. There was also a massive ASUS TUF 3080 drop on Amazon this morning, that lasted 5-7min (yes that's massive). Unfortunately there's never any forewarning on those. Ampere supply was promised to "pick up" second half of December, and that may be starting.
In other news, Newegg just implemented a change that has broken the popular auto-checkout bots - I see the devs scrambling to find workarounds, but they're still broken as of this writing (I *think* the security has to do with the geolocation of your IP at checkout needing to roughly correlate with your shipping address, but I'm not sure yet). Why this is meaningful is if the new security holds at least until today's (potential) 4-4:30PM Newegg drop, you may have a better better chance than usual of snagging something today.
Good news regarding the Newegg update!
