They had everything up until today, now it's mostly AMD and some 3070s.

Walk in and find a good 3080 and I'll rebuy it from you with a markup.

When they get 3080s I'll let you know. Right now the only 3 series is the ROG 3070 and a Gigabyte 3090.

Pay $200 and not be able to buy what you were hoping for. It's like I can see the future.

Creative way to deal with inflation.

Best Buy’s new $200/yr membership locks PS5, hot holiday items behind sign-up

Annual subscription price might be worth it for certain buyers.

If you need/want a couple items, lets say a PS5 and a 3080? That's worth it IMO big time.

I snatched it - will see how this monday is for benefits

Do they actually have a list of items behind this sub?

after sitting on the marketplace for 2 weeks.............

yeeesh

its tough to get a card without getting a complete piece of shit rig. The IBUYPOWER prebuilt are atrocious for the money and use terrible parts. "settling" for a piece of shit rig just to get a capable graphics card at a far price is quite the pickle.

And by fair price I mean 1,440. I won't pay anymore for a GPU than that

microcenter's gouge is disgusting. they charge scalp on both AMD and Nvidia for in-store buys. the actual in-store buys are scalp prices across both makes.

it makes absolutely 0 sense to charge scalp rates on instore buys. Its just plain faggotry.

For example their competitor IBUYPOWER isn't charging scalp rates. inflated rates, yes, but firmly away from scalp rates. microcenter is in lockstep with scalper rates. its disappointing considering how much community support and reviews they get.

JUST went thru this with Microcenter. They give zero fucks. Commission for the sales reps does not help at all.

I went to build a PC and I am spending well over 2K on parts, and was going to have them build it. Went to get a video card? None were under $1600 bucks or whatever. I tried to get the manager to just LOOK at AMD's site for the 6900XT with a MSRP of $999. No go. They wanted $2000 bucks for a bullshit Asrock 6900XT. His response was "Not the same card manufacturer". Ok cool.

Went to Newegg...couldn't find the part match, and it wasn't in stock at the time. Couple of their rules for price match. They wouldn't even try to save me 300-400 bucks on what would be close to a $4000 total purchase.

They lost $250 on a build (I got un-lazy and built it myself), and a sale of a video card at $1500 bucks, because they wouldn't even TRY and save me a few hundred bucks. I then was a dick, and sat there for an hour pulling up every part they could price match, and nickeled and dimed them for almost $200 bucks.

Fuck Microcenter.
