Same man. I've been trying to get this card since release. I built a new PC months before release with the intention of using this card. It's been restocked several times. To save you some anguish, any restocks in the near future will be a waste of time. I'm not just saying that to improve my own chances. Last restock I managed to get the card in my cart 2 separate times. I kept getting the error that the "Online Only" card wasn't available for store pickup. I had no intention of store pickup, I wanted it shipped. Well after contacting customer service, I came to find out that it just wasn't available for store pickup from any store within any reasonable distance from me. Like 250+ miles. So it didn't show any availability whatsoever. Customer Service told me that "during the holidays" they're selling the card as store pickup only. So this already extremely limited supply, is going to an extremely limited number of stores. And if you happen to get the card in your cart, you'll be very near an aneurysm trying desperately to just get through the checkout process and realize that it won't ever work. Unless you happen to be lottery level lucky and live close enough to a store that will have 1 of 3 cards that they got in stock. I guess you could also start guessing and checking several zip codes upwards of hundreds to thousands of miles away. Again you'd probably have to get lucky with the guess, and then you're stuck driving however far away. And then you'll have to hope and pray that they don't make some sort of mistake and sell your card to someone else after you travel all that way. This is our life now. Having fun yet?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.They make the process extremely difficult for bots to grab the entire supply. Once you're into the process you'll see why. Here's what I did: Had BB browser pages (not tabs!) open to the items I was interested in. Used a browser extension to refresh the pages every 30 seconds or so and kept the pages behind most everything else I was doing with only enough of the gray "Sold Out" button showing so that if it turned yellow I could stop whatever else I was doing and try to slam through an order. The downside is that I would have to be at the comp to see it but I am 8-10 hours most days anyway. This is guaranteed to be faster than using one of the stock-alert bots. Something else you need to know: You have to ORDER online but pick up IN PERSON. Not all stores get stock when BB gets a shipment so you could get to the cart page only to be told no store within 250 miles will have any. Sad times. As another poster said, stick with it. Cheers!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just keep checking the site 50 times a day. You'll get one. That's what I did. It's weird how and when they update their stock. You just have to be ready.
