These emails about the product being discontinued are BS. They also sent them about an EVGA model that was being restocked elsewhere. They likely just took too many orders and couldn’t fulfill them in a reasonable amount of time so they make up a BS excuse so it doesn’t look like they’re at fault.Lame
Its been like this for the past 10 drops. I'm pretty sure Newegg's situation has only gotten worse over time than better. Trash tier website.The app and the website went tits up for this one. Could add to cart but then it would churn for 60+ seconds before the cart would load and tell you the gpu is out of stock. Now, can’t even get 3080 combos to load and show out of stock. It’s like they don’t exist.
I got one into my cart, but then the site crashed and when it refreshed it was gone.haha saw literally ALL the combos for 5900x in stock but no luck getting any of them into my cart.
Best Buy drop....may the force be with you.
Congrats!!! It's a lot better when you get the card you actually wantFINALLY! Secured an EVGA RTX 3090 XC3 Ultra - the card that I've wanted since launch.
Best Buy is shipping again and I'll have it by the 24th!

You can only do it for one page. If you reload or open other pages I don't think they will turn yellow again.Rinse and repeat until all cards say "Sold Out"
yep...Damn dude are you still trying to get a card?
Yep, same old story here. As a human, it's somewhat straightforward to add to cart, but checkout is mostly a tease. I selected every store within reasonable driving distance (some 10 stores around me), yet none seem to have them.best buy is a stupid tease for most of us.

I had the four windows open tiled on my monitor for the four cards that were going in and out of stock.You can only do it for one page. If you reload or open other pages I don't think they will turn yellow again.

Unbelievable this is still the state of things 3 months after launch. Through the release of AMD cards, and both 2020 generation consoles, and new CPUs by AMD. It's almost like people do NOT have a shortage of money to spend during this covid season that America is raking up trillions of dollars in debt with 'needed' bailouts.
I'm really wondering if they're prioritizing member statuses for these drops...I'm Best Buy Elite Plus and have secured at least one thing every drop for the past month.
This could be it. I find one thing I want, click "Add to Cart" and then just let it sit there. I do this on both my computer and Best Buy app on my phone. Whichever one pops up first I go with. Surprisingly, this time I clicked "Add to Cart" second on my App and it was first to show up with the yellow "Add to Cart" button to move forward through checkout.
I had the four windows open on the four cards that were going in an out of stock.
All four were working properly. I'd click the yellow button and get denied every time. Like the error messages shown. I was logged into best buy - CC on file etc.
It might be as exlink said that they are prioritizing their members. I don't regularly buy from bestbuy, and have no status with them.
I kind of believe in BB ability to thwart bots. What I'm not so sure of is the smoke and mirrors act going on once you get the thing added to your cart. It all still seems like a lotto system, where a lucky random person is a winner. Either way, there's not any transparency as to what's going on behind the scenes. Which I guess is the point.Honestly its tough but if there is any retailer doing enough shit to fight bots its best buy. I have score 2 PS5s last two drops with 0 luck anywhere else. a 3090 and 3060ti few weeks back. But failed to get 5950x so far today lol. It was out before add to cart showed up. But I have most success with them. Atleast they try to slow down bots with the queue and 2FA. Its the only place people have a remote shot these days. When you have it in cart keep hitting check out as they release more inventory. My PS5 was the same after like 10-15 times I hit checkout it went through.
This may very well be the case, simply RNG.It all still seems like a lotto system, where a lucky random person is a winner.

For sure. At this point, I'd even consider buying a Gigabyte or Zotac.Congrats!!! It's a lot better when you get the card you actually want
You're missing the point of my reply. I do believe BB are handling the bots. But I'm not so certain their solution is elegant or even makes sense despite that. If anything the presentation is misleading many to believe they have a chance. At the very least, it still seems kludgy.I disagree. They do 2FA at the end for each order. Trust me more humans get shit with BB then any other place. What are the chances of me getting 2 PS5s in 2 tries there while I failed 60-100 times everywhere else? That shows they are doing their best it is actually working for the most part. Do bots succesfully buy some? sure but the things like queue, 2FA, delayed inventory release, ship for store pickup is more then anyone else I have seen. There is nothing really shady going on behind the scenes. It works for the most part but demand is still there. Far from lotto, lot of people get it.
I literally tried for months getting a video card and BB is the only place I successfuly score few weeks back. You just have to browse their site on Tuesday after 10AM EST. They do all drops on Tuesdays it seems for CPUs and video cards.
I could have gotten another 3060ti today. But he wants a 3070 that I didn't shoot for, and I think 3060ti is a better buy anyways. I was helping him secure one. O well.
and? keep the politics to the subforms and stay on topic thxJust because you can afford to purchase an expensive luxury toy in this climate does not mean everyone else is as fortunate as you There are literally millions of people who are unemployed and need some type of assistance due to this pandemic. You and I and most people on this forum looking to buy luxury toys should be thankful and not assume the government bailouts are not needed for those close to be homeless/
