What a shitshow, as expected.

This is one of the shittiest paper launch i've seen in hardware.

PS5 comparatively, even though i did not order one ( i could yesterday ), is a million times smoother than this shit.
PS5 actually had an inventory to sell, and didn't have bots and miners trying to snatch it the second it was up. Maybe PS5 going at random times was a blessing in disguise so they can't plan to take everything for themselves.

Did Amazon's supply even become available? It's the only site that didn't seem to crash but I dont think their pages changed at all?

Did anyone actually see it say "in stock" on Nvidia?

No

But i had US & Canada pages up. US went from notify to out of stock, while Canada, i had filtered 3080 only, and it kept being "notify me" even long after US was out of stock.. i removed filter, and voila, out of stock, put filter on, notify me, filter off, out of stock..

Some cache in the Nvidia server is fucked. Bots/scalpers went around these?

People saying the PS5 was a breeze because they aren't in the Us lol. We were struggling with Best Buy's site for two hours last night until amazon randomly put them up

Nvidia stock backend has been throwing error 500 for a while now. I'm not sure they ever put the cards as available because the site can't even check the stock for existing cards lol

Made it to the end of ordering on Newegg only for it to be like "Yeah we don't got those any more" lol

Still holding out hope for B&H since they've been down from a bit before 9.

And now it's sold out on best buy for me.

Regular human beings never had a chance. Hyper bot-powered scalpers somehow had their foot in the gate from microsecond 1.

Internet merchants, y'all done fucked this up lol

Haha, got my order in at least. Though, it is not for certain I will get an card right away with my stores rules. Though they keep an ordered order list, so I would be near the top at least.

Tried several of them but only saw them instock on Newegg. I clicked add to cart but the page crashed and by the time it came back it was out of stock.

Sorry for being a bit of an idiot, but how do bots get it first? Is it just computer software designed to buy as soon as it goes live?
