Whatever happened to listing these as B&M?

At least it says Microcenter so you know it's not going to be shippable like the big chains do.

What I want to know is why none of the major retailers ever have any good deals like microcenter does.

So jealous of people that have access to MC. I'd go buy this today if I had one near.

It doesn't say Microcenter on the emails

I wonder if this deal will go on for another 10 days. I will be going to an area that has a Microcenter or two nearby around that time.

Just FYI , this is a DDR4 motherboard, which means DDR5 RAM won't work on it. Also, the 12th gen i9 is just about slower than the 13th i5 (13600k), so trying to draw a comparison with the latest Intel CPUs.

You can probably bag an ASUS Prime Z690-P + 13th gen i7-13700k pair for $550~ , making it a much better $$ against this.

These in-store-only deals are annoying. The nearest Microcenter is 1.5-2 hours away. Just let me ship them like it's 2022 instead of 1992.

It's a ploy to....get you to the store. Where you'll also buy the other stuff.

It works great for the stores that have good deals on their website. I go there to buy the cpu and such for the best price I can get and I get other things there too. Microcenter might have a better chance of getting my business if they put these deals on this new-fangled thing they call the Internet. I think it might take off instead of just being a fad.
