AMD 6800 & 6800 XT MBA LAUNCH AT 2PM TODAY - EXTREMELY LIMITED STOCK!

[zuki]

It's getting a bit beyond a joke, I ordered the 3080 and still in a queue for that since launch day with my money taken, I ordered a 6800 xt without even knowing if it was any good because the reviews did not come out till launch, only to find my money was taken again to later have it cancelled with no refund, currently I can't afford a third card next week, its getting a bit silly now.

Same I’m sooo ******

The NDA prevents us from launching early...we usually manage to launch on time but on this occasion the traffic spike actually crashed the server access portal that we use to make sure things so live on time, across all of the website mirrors

I know it wasn't oc's decision but an amd one. I just feel that this was even worse.

 

[gradyhawks]

I’m amazed they let him post. Everything I ever see is patronising, arrogant, or both.

Yeah, that was bad considering he is a staff member. Lot's of annoyed customers that are no longer loyal customers.

Maybe it was just the protein talking

My trombone is now proper mangled and in the back garden and my pants close by, ive had enough !!!!!!!!!!!! ive lost my temper !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Biggus-Dickus]

I suppose he was seeing the price as inclusive of the whole experience; presales support, after sales etc not just the card.. If its worth it... now that's a different story!

Hang on, let me get this right. You had 200 cards and you took 1000 peoples money and now you have to refund them, what kind of atrocious site do you have.

I cannot believe that people are accepting of this either, this is worse than the 3080 launch.

 

[Doobedoo]

Can someone please make a small violin thread so that people can post in one thread about how sad they are rather than filling up other threads.

@ScottiB will we get our refunds in time for next week's cards?

 

[ScottiB]

What the flip is happening here Scott? No AIB stock next week. Hardly any stock today. Reference design canned only a few hours after launch. It's absolutely ridiculous! What are AMD playing at?!

I have my theories but they are only theories and unfortunately, to voice them publicly might get me canned too so I'm going to stay stum on this.

I wouldn't be surprised if some media outlets took a stab at explaining it over the next few days.

It definitely feels like a bit of a mess and it came as a massive surprise to me when I heard about the MBA card supply. At least we've gotten some pre-warning of the storm we'll be dealing with next week.

Got a video of this mangling that necessitated the removal of pants? Sounds...interesting.

Could you not have just rewarded loyal customers here by not posting direct links to the products on social media though? Surely you’d have known you’d have no problem shifting so few cards here to the loyal.

 

[RayRayFPS]

Basically like what I had to try and muddle through to finally place my order (which is now to be cancelled)

[Nitefly]

So just to be clear, we’re all in agreement that OcUK are to send us trust messages on the launch of the 6900xt so that only the trusted forum members with >30k posts can be at the front of the queue.

Agreed? Agreed.

*gavel*

 

[Dalrond]

Nope, that breaches NDA terms

Can't offer those of us that got rejected a coupon code that gives priority next time? Say, email everyone that got their order cancelled today a coupon code which gives a £0 discount, but then if they place an order next week you filter the orders by ones that used the code, and process those first.

This to be honest. Its shocking they allowed people to keep making payments for cards they were never going to be able to provide.

They will make a excuse stating the traffic prevented them from stopping the payments no doubt but its quite frankly daylight robbery.

His hoover was broken

YOU'RE NOT WORTHY!!!

 

[ScottiB]

@ScottiB will we get our refunds in time for next week's cards?

We'll process them as quickly as possible. Unless your bank takes five days to put money back in your account I can't foresee any issues.

We don't have your cash yet. We won't see that for another few days...banks do tend to drag their feet on bank to bank transfers, it's usually 2-3 days.

Hard to find fault with your post Tone.

yeah clearly spending tens of thousands here over the years is not good enough lol.

They've stated you'll have a refund within 24 hours, not unreasonable.
