Edit: to this rant because I think they deserve it. I'm guessing they did have a ton out bot orders that they cancelled because they are back in stock and my order went through.

They said they were combating bots. I tried checking out as soon as the new decks went on sale. I was going to get the limited edition. Once their servers finally caught up it said it was out of stock. I tried switching to the 1TB non limited edition and they said "you've been trying to make too many purchases". I finally got through again and it said the regular one was out of stock. How was it not bots buying these of a regular user couldn't get through.

I take it you weren't there when the first preorders opened up.

Even if bots were non existent there's an insanely high demand for not a lot of supply. People really need to start going into things with better expectations, knowing that it's going to be a madhouse and more than likely they will have to wait.

I remember trying to get a 3000 series graphics card in 2020. Shit just hard to get now, gaming is more profitable than movies now. Fact is day 1 it's always going to be like this - forever

No, the fact is that capitalism us bleeding is dry, and no-one cares because for one brief moment the share holders made a shit ton of money.
