I see people in Discord who got one FE of each GPU type... Yikes.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
Nah, they simply know right now they can sell all their stock and making an extra $200 on top of itIt's like they don't want regular users to every buy a new video card anymore.
Best Buy is dropping FE, but it just keeps saying verify my account, I click it, please wait, verify your account - looping.
Don't waste your time. the bots will beat you to it.Best Buy is dropping FE, but it just keeps saying verify my account, I click it, please wait, verify your account - looping.
It's flat broken. I've been clicking verify account dozens of times for 20 minutes on multiple browser widows, and my phone. The only thing more persistent than what I've been doing is bots. So if this is their bot preventions - it's more like bot rewarding.Yeah I get the "bot prevention" *lol* that they're doing but damnit if they expect me to stare at the screen waiting for the "please wait" to do something. Like if I go watch Youtube videos or something, a bot programmed to handle this will end up doing it faster than I can. "Wait times can take up to a few minutes or longer.. " Disney should try that for it's rides, "Wait time for Space Mountain 10 minutes or longer"
If memory serves, like when BB first started doing this. If there is something within 250 miles they won't tell you where, you just have to click on various stores and hope that one of them pops up, as opposed to saying "go to nearest store that actually F*@&ing has it!!!!"Nuffin within 250 for me that I could grab quick enough at least
Well "luckily" for me, it popped back up verify account but when I clicked it it told me it wasn't available within 250 miles. Like seriously, couldn't fucking tell that to me based on my location before I even clicked add to cart? It actually does say that for the 3060ti, but the 3070,3070ti and 3080 FE cards nope, false hope is all they give me.It's flat broken.

I just closed my browsers and gave up. Good luck fellas.
I never once got the 250 mile radius thing on any of my browsers on the PC. Just my Phone was telling me that.Well "luckily" for me, it popped back up verify account but when I clicked it it told me it wasn't available within 250 miles.

Yeah 3070, 3070ti and 3080 FE all not available within 250 miles for me, hell neither is the 3060ti FE either but at least that one actually says so without needing me to wait for verifyI never once got the 250 mile radius thing on any of my browsers on the PC. Just my Phone was telling me that.
That was the other day. Today's drops were open to all.i thought you needed to be part of their tech thing for 200 pbucks a year to even have chance?
OhThat was the other day. Today's drops were open to all.
Wow. I'd wait until the card was in hand before cancelling.Supposedly these were the ones where they cancelled TT right after purchasing to which BB cancelled their orders.

Yes, per section 13c of their terms they can deduct what you paid for any limited quantity or exclusive items bought while this is active from the refund, basically meaning you don’t get anything since these were rather expensive.I think they will or have caught on and one may not get the full refund anymore - https://gamingintel.com/best-buys-tech-membership-ps5-refund/
If I am in the market for Apple products or other expensive gadgets, the extended warranty is not a bad deal.
I will say, anytime I’ve bought BB extended warranties (via Geek Squad branding IIRC, very similar to this total package) they’ve made me go through 0 hoops - one time a TV crapped out and they didnt have it in stock anymore of course so they gave me a better one “free”, and then I had to get my Oculus replaced and I just went into the store, they said “cool”, and didn’t have it in store but mailed it to me within like 2-3 days.Yes, per section 13c of their terms they can deduct what you paid for any limited quantity or exclusive items bought while this is active from the refund, basically meaning you don’t get anything since these were rather expensive.
As for the warranty most credit cards have some form of extended warranty in addition that people rarely remember they get albeit Best Buy is probably easier to get this service from than say citi.
As this drop on the wire and Best Buy can kiss my azz with that $200 member ship crap.

3060 ti through 3080 FE, I think you are right. 3080 ti and 3090 FE still possible, they are much less desirable due to cost. As far as evga, be aware you can't just step up to whatever anymore. The card you step up from will limit what you can step up to. Reference the chart on https://www.evga.com/support/stepup/FEs are a lost cause. The trick is to go after less desirable cards from AIBs. Ideally any EVGA card so you can step up.
Zotac white 3060 on sale + free shipping. $569.99...okayish deal???
not sure if its just they listed them wrong but this is not shown as an LHR card even though I assume it is. All their other cards are labeled as LHR if they are. they even list the MH for eth on the details for their LHR cards.

It's a bit higher priced than most cards. Appears to utilize 2 PCIE connections, so higher power requirements than other AIB offerings, so factor that into your budget. If you "need" it now, it is what it is. Pay for whatever you can and are willing to afford.Zotac white 3060 on sale + free shipping. $569.99...okayish deal???

My MSI 3060 also has two PCIE connections and never seems to draw enough power to warrant it. Even overclocked I don’t think power would be the limiting factor. Not sure why they did that. Most aib 3060s other than evga are going for around $520.It's a bit higher priced than most cards.

Won NE shuffle today for 3080 but on a second thought, the price is not too tempting after CA tax + shipping. Probably someone skip this as the lucky winner usually is notified from 12pm - 2pm PT. (3pm - 5pm ET), so I may be the second person in line. There will be a lucky third person, I guess for this card.
