And of course they're already being scalped for 6x MSRP on eBay… I fucking hate humanity.

Yeah but is anyone gonna pay that?

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Never underestimate the level of dipshittery in this world

[–] vividspecter@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

i didn't even have an issue buying two. it just worked.

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Lol, why are you being downvoted?

[–] lime@feddit.nu 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

i can see how it can be read as bragging, perhaps? i could probably have been a bit more sensitive about it. honestly i just jumped on the steam store after a friend told me they had released, and i got no lag or anything. could just add to cart. i thought they must have stocked plenty of them and beefed up their infra.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Because they are just bragging.

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Are they? Or are they just being frank?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)
[–] lime@feddit.nu 4 points 3 days ago

i don't even know a frank

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 2 points 3 days ago

Damn I'm embarrassed by how long it took me to get that lol

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's great! I'll pay you cost plus shipping for the other, thanks. My wife asked for this for Mothers' Day.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

...from europe?

i think that's the reason it worked, honestly. they probably had them shipped out pre-launch.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -5 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

they're saying 10 days of shipping minimum, and to expect delays. so if you want it for the eighth i'm afraid i can't help you...

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I am confident that she's willing to wait, considering the lead time for another batch from the factory.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

oh they're that understocked huh? i can help you out then.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah just the one would be great. Two would be fabulous, but I understand if you want to keep one for yourself.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 3 days ago

sure, i'll ping you when they arrive, i'm assuming it's either friday next week or the monday after. shoot me a dm if i forget.

[–] towamo7603@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Had one added at 10 on the dot and couldn't get past selecting a payment method after clicking continue for 30 minutes and it sold out. It's still sitting in my cart but continue just refreshes the page.

I'll keep trying.....

Was back in stock for 20 seconds so I got it added to my cart...

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Still says out of stock 😔

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Pretty sure it is actually out of stock now.

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 3 points 3 days ago

Definitely, they removed the banner from the front of the store

[–] meowcar420@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago
