I get these will be retail pricing, but that's a deal these days. Unfortunately it is in store only and there's no telling how many GPUs they will have in each store.
This stand in line is BS . Microcenter does it daily. Very abusive. They are basically abusing their customers making them stand in line for 15 hours. F them. Using people for fake show of lines outside a B&M like it's Thanksgiving 1994.
Newegg raffle is more civil. Every retailer should do that.

Newegg trickles out a half dozen or less nvidia cards a day for the entire country, and often makes you buy a $300 motherboard you don't need to go with it.
Microcenter on a routine schedule releases at least twice the amount compared to crapegg at each day across most stores across the country. Sure, there is a long bloody line of professional scaplers and arbitrageurs.
Wait till the fall, the scalper market will be done, its already on the downward trend and Intel will be flooding the market with their cards then as well, wait it out, there are no games that are coming out you need one of these cards for.
This I been waiting 5 years to build a new rig. but this crypto BS and chip shortage has made me wait farrrrr longer then I ever thought. I read ride it out till end now, and just play my OG ps4
I bought a 1080 for $500 not too long ago, did I get ripped off?
A 3060 ti has about equal performance of the 2080 Super, and the Nvidia version retails for $400. 3060 ti also has ray-tracing capability. But only you can decide if it was worth it.
There was only two stores in Arizona that was participating and that was Tucson location and Phoenix Thunderbird & 35th Ave.
Phoenix location actually gave out tickets to anyone walking in yesterday because their shipment is delayed therefore they wouldn't have made it in time for the drop this morning at 8 AM. I found out through the sea of Reddit comments. I drove 45 minutes one way and arrived at Best Buy @ 5:10 PM and got a 3070 ticket, my nephew got a 3090 ticket. There was a little over 200+ tickets, at the time I arrived there was still over 60 tickets available.

I have a friend who works for BB distribution, he said each store will get a min of 200 each model of units except for 3090s they only get 50 of those.

He told me about this a week ago, they got a shipment and hes distributing to each of the selected stores, unfortunately he doesn't work on retail side (warehouse) and is NOT permitted to save one or sell me one they are very strict on that. Otherwise id have one right now lol.

What? My coworker got his RTX3080 eVGA FTW from microcenter he was able to reserve one via email on the site, 2 weeks later he got a email that said they got a limited supply in, click here to reserve and they would hold it for 3 days. He picked it up later that day straight from work, he didn't have to stand in line except to pay for the item on the W/C center. This was 6 months ago and he paid $700ish for it, no gouching and it was before the price hike.
Yawn. Just wait. They will drop. No, Graphics cards are nothing unique enough that they will "sell out." Just a matter of time before the fat cats start getting greedy and prices i will drop.

I just sold a 1080 to someone for $500, did I rip someone off?
