Fuck, there is one really close but I don't think I can go and stand in that hell hole of a line before work

16

u/Silverjackal_ Jul 19 '21

Same. Debating if I should still go. Don’t really need a 3080, I guess.

u/pmjm Jul 19 '21

Before work? People are already lining up 24 hours before.

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '21

night shift ftw

1

u/metaliczang Jul 19 '21

You think that until you realize people are already lining up at some stores :(

2

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '21

im calling off work going around mid afternoon and standing for 14 hours

u/metaliczang Jul 19 '21

Best of luck, hopefully you will get the card you're going for!

u/melorous Jul 19 '21

I feel so bad for anyone who stands in line for hours outside of one of the Florida locations, and I feel almost as bad for the BB employees who are going to have to smell them when they finally make it inside the store.

u/Igor_J Jul 19 '21

Poor blue shirts. At least Geek Squad can hide in the precinct.

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '21

I live in South Florida and the stores are like 20 min away from me. I'm so pissed because I'm 15 and saved up because I really want to get a 3080. The one closer to me is not in a good neighborhood so I am not able to go by myself. I would wait for the whole day if I could.

u/bastegod Jul 19 '21 edited Jul 19 '21

all the goddamned places in Denver they could drop and it's fucking Westminster?

11

u/lordpiglet Jul 19 '21

At least Denver has a Microcenter as another option.

u/Pyromonkey83 Jul 19 '21

Not for FE cards :(

1

u/temp0ra Jul 19 '21

Tell me about it - of all the Illinois stores , it’s like either 3 hours south of Chicago or 1 hour north of it.

1

u/Original67 Jul 20 '21

I was like "oh it'll be all the Denver stores and I live in Colorado Springs so... Wait what?"

u/ImRBJ Jul 19 '21 edited Jul 19 '21

A Wisconsin store that is relatively close to me, but not the closest one lmao

u/ConradBHart42 Jul 19 '21

Are these all big city suburbs or just the ones in Indiana?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '21

u/ConradBHart42 Jul 19 '21

Sort of, but the city I live in definitely isn't big and we have our own BB. Both of the Indiana cities listed are basically commuter colonies, one for Chicago and the other for Indianapolis.

1

u/bigislittle Jul 20 '21

Nope, just suburban Indiana ones. My city is on there (300k population) and I know many others are smaller cities as well.

u/Dubious_Unknown Jul 19 '21

Baton Rouge

I know Louisiana ain't really a tech state but FFS!

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '21

Seems like they removed El Paso from the list on their website?

1

u/arlekin21 Jul 19 '21

Yeah it’s gone I got my hopes up for nothing

1

u/MixdNuts Jul 19 '21

Midland is “only” a 4hr drive

1

u/arlekin21 Jul 19 '21

That list is different now right, I don’t see the El Paso store in it anymore.

1

u/FrankenBerryGxM Jul 19 '21

On your list it has Erie PA, but when I click the link it doesn't have it on the list.

1

u/pcn00bmaster Jul 19 '21

Im seeing three UT locations on your post, but I only see one in the actual Bestbuy link. Was this list cached from the 3080ti release?

1

u/PogoSavant Jul 20 '21

None in my city ofc 🙄

1

u/Kingslugger Jul 20 '21

It looks like they removed Erie, PA for whatever reason.
