RTX 3000 Series Micro Center Discussion & FAQ!

Also wanted to know about the voucher system like at what time will the person be there to hand them out because if they will only be there at 9 am then people will still line up I was playing to be there early to make sure I get one but now I'm afraid that I will get there and there and people already got them all super early or that it will just be a line to get the vouchers anyways. ( don't get me wrong I really appreciate the voucher system as then we can wait in the cars or get something to eat but just would like to know at least what time someone will be there at least)

Brad_Isnard said:Now no FE cards? I don’t know about the rest of you, but I have zero intention of paying $200+ over FE for a 2% overclock and ugly cooler. This is really disappointing.
I would like to know if I should camp overnight at Tustin in my car to be disappointed, never really done that for anything, but I'm so bored lately might as well hang out at one of my favorite cool stores -
How would they be handTSTonyV said:I'll see if I can get clarification on this and update the FAQ if I do.

They confirmed it'll be when the stores open

i am hoping that it wont be a be in line at midnight that would suck for us that have to work early in the morning.

Hello! I am not seeing the said "FAQ" section that some people are referring to. Am I crazy or did it get taken down?
I am also most concerned about the voucher system, I just need to know when I should plan to do everything. I have seen some nightmare stories on Reddit where people lined up early only to find out that they passed out vouchers at midnight. Would really hate to waste time like that. Or that they showed up an hour beforehand and everything was alright.
Is there going to being uniformity in voucher policy/launch day events between all stores, or is it going to be dependent on certain locations?

I can't find the tweet where they say this, and I get that there's no extended hours but I'm still afraid of not being able to get that brochure, can someone confirm that this tweet is true?

They haven't posted extended hours for this event. Also they keep posting that link for a FAQ and/or "where to get latest updates" and it's just literally this non-official forums topic lol.

TSTonyV said:The tweet may have been removed, we're currently trying to get some updated information and it may be that the voucher system is not going to be as we expected? I'm not 100% sure yet, currently trying to confirm, sorry about the confusion! We'll post updates here once we have them.
-
Snewpy said:Thanks for the quick reply, if the voucher system ends up not being a thing, would it just go back to being first come first serve? The voucher system sounds a lot more confusing than anything right now.
-
I would much prefer the wait list system, sounds like a more organized system

Beats me! Just saw a story on the internet. You don't think people would go on the internet and tell lies, do you?But for real, just happy to get some clarification at some point.TSTonyV said:Brad_Isnard said:Now no FE cards?

Thanks for the update! I will be on the lookout. -
Felicity said:Based on prices we saw on other sites, doesn't seem like they're going to charge that much more. Maybe $20-30. Microcenter never seems to bad about that particular thing either.

That's better news. I had been hearing $899 MSRP for many AIBs at launch, then prices dropping after that as "sales" kick in. I hope that's not the case.

If I have to wait 12hrs for my 3080 I will!

I would love to know with whichever system gets used, will you know your place in line and how many cards there are actually in stock when you receive your voucher, space in line, or etc. Just so that anyone that gets there, if they’re not among the first 5 in line that they’ll know whether they’re more or less guaranteed the ability to purchase one. So that if you’re not among the amount of people within the set amount of cards received, we’ll be able to try our luck online instead of just being 110% out of luck for showing up slightly later. I would also hope it would be first come first serve as in those that show up at 4am have a better chance, no matter which system

Could a lottery system work or is that to unfair?

Anyone else planning to camp in front of the store from 12AM? I might pull it

If you guys are looking for ideas on how to handle day one I recommend posting the cards online for reservations at 9am est like Nvidia is doing and if someone walks into microcenter without a reserved card they can’t get one.
