Yes, people still sleep outside storefronts before big launches.

Seeing it here as well and with pre order status into early 2021 delivery dates.
Awesome job with the supply Nvidia!

We all knew that was going to happen. The delay meant they had a few hundred cards instead of a few. Like literally 20.
Whole launch is an utter joke. Here's a £450 card you can have for £550, only even at the gouged price you can't get one any way so you can f**k off.
It never fails to amaze me just how much crap gamers will put up with. If you went into Tesco and put £50 worth of food in your cart only to find them upping the price at the till you would go ballistic.
I didn't even think it was legal to take payment on anything until they had it to ship, or had shipped it. It's amazing how much law bending these companies are getting away with.
This whole "pre order" b******s needs to be addressed and fixed. They would soon hurry the product up then.

Yep the pre order option needs to be removed, queue's need to be made without who paid first, this current system is very very bad for the entire gpu market.

I also noticed both OCUK and Scan have implemented anti-bot measures on their websites in the wake of the 3080 farce - It still doesn't excuse the whole shambolic launch of the 3xxx series though.
On another note, if the single threaded performance of the next gen Ryzen CPU's is all it's hinted to be and if the performance of the AMD GPU's is half decent - Both Intel and Nvidia are going to take one hell of a kicking in the cashflow department in the coming quarter.
