Dude you trolling? The links were posted well after anyone could see them post 2pm, Who knew the new AMD cards wouldn't go under the AMD card section? Who knew the cards would be £80 over priced because what robbing cash grab from customers?

Love it when people band entitled around like some sort of entitlement, troll on else where kiddo.

Dont try to belittle me, because it's not going to work.

The ONLY legitimate complaint here is the price. Outside of that, jog on.
 
It was a joke.

I was directly refreshing the 6800 and 6800XT product pages, not relying on the menu categories, and they did not appear for 15-20 minutes or something.

Then I see prices are £599 compared to £529/£539 elsewhere for 6800 and £679 compared to £599 for 6800XT.

That's a perfect analogy. What could have the architect done ... They wouldn't demolish the entrance wall and make it wider just for the one day everyone wants to get in... There's little the architect can do in reality!

They had Anti DDOS, Anti Bot protections and increased their server load. What do you want? You cannot sell 200 cards to 8000 people, however angry you get.

You can however build a website to scale effectively with burst loads. Up to them if they think its worth doing though.
 
Same again next week, only next week we get to pre-order so they can take all of our monies for their overpriced stock!
 
I think I got one. Order processed, and now the page has gone back to "available soon". To be honest, I don't care if i'm paying a bit more. I've been using an old GTX 970 for a couple of months now after my old card died, so i've not been playing most of my games as even with graphics turned down, framerates are awful.

I was refreshing many times on competitor pages, and i never saw stock or anything appear. Total price is less than I shelled out for my position in the 3080 queue, and that was even before the price increase because the original prices were based on the FE card. Assuming I get shipping confirmation at some point, i'll be cancelling whichever order doesn't arrive, so it's all good.

Lol wow, OCUK, just wow. That is really disgusting behaviour.

I don’t see why anyone lets them get away with it, they are literally the only site adding a mark up, the ONLY ONE lol.

Not that it justifies it at all, but thats not true. Another popular retailer were selling at least 1 6800XT SKU for £699.
 
Another farce, this site no products on the right pages so guess missed out because of that in between site failures. Was hovering on AMD direct but it wouldn’t add to basket and funnily enough a 5950x popped in stock but couldn’t get through checkout even with PayPal.

Really tired of this year and being unable to get anything, price being increased over retail is pretty bad practice and it’s only getting worse here.
