Just called up, and got hung up on my face while i was asking my 2nd question unrelated to the CPU....(maybe if you updated this forum with current information no one would call to ask?????)
Anyways,
324 Pre-orders in the Queue currently.
Last shipment delivered was on the 3rd of December, number of units unknown AND NOT ALLOWED TO BE DISCLOSED, lucky guess ~50 (i'll be getting to that in a minute).
Last shipment before that was the 28th one of 800 units, this information being confirmed by me calling everyday until the morning of the 3rd...(so it arrived in the evening...maybe tonight perhaps?).
^ fully covering the pre-orders before and allowing for stock to be buy now until 10:30 on the 28th of Nov.
On the evening of the 28th of Nov, I called up, and there were 83 Pre-orders in the Queue.
Now, I pre-ordered 15 minutes after the buy now closed, so 10:45, and I still did not get any news.
It has been confirmed that pre-orders ARE on a TIME OF ORDER queue basis, so if you ordered at 10:31, you probably have your CPU buy now, and the later you go the less likely you do.
Now I fall into the 83, with the most likely case being that I was in the top 50? or even 30, but I guess not. AND THE AGENT ISNT ALLOWED TO DISCLOSE YOUR POSITION, though I believe they don't even have access to it directly, based on the responses.
Seeing that many drops were happening on amazon until the 4th, there appears to be a lack?? of CPUs in general.
I don't believe so, since shipments of any product don't just stop... if anyone has a guess go ahead.
Last thing, I ask everyone here that calls up on any basis, to please ask for the number of units in that last shipment, since if you get a less stringent service agent, they will tell you.
