RTX 3000 Series Micro Center Discussion & FAQ!

i ran the numbers 
they are pretty much proportionate to the populations of the relative counties and city of the locations 

NY gets screwed by being split up where california's location got a bunch at once for being the only one, makes sense a bit, as does the population density for the rest + how many cards are reported 
roughly 4-5 cards per million people lol, nyc seems to be an undercut outlier for its density

I'm not able to go sit there and check in 3 times tonight I have coursework so kinda lame game mc is playing this game + no pricing yet so ill just wait i guess 

Thanks for that, it makes sense when you put it into perspective like that. a lot of sense. yeah, micro center tustin is handling this like a total sh1t show as expected. there seems to be contradicting information being given here about tustin though. where one or two claim a check in system is in place, someone else just said no check in system is in place and vouchers will be handed out at 7am...wtf. who or what to believe. I almost want to bite the bullet and take my ass out there right now, but someone also said you must check in like 4 different times or they pull you off the list. I already missed the 9pm time slot so i guess even i show up by 11pm and check in then, no dice.

Hello just got to Tustin store.  I was #51 

what's the procedure to get on the list? they have someone actively checking people in? im confused about the time slots. someone said , 9pm, 11pm 2am and 6am. what does that even mean? show up at any one of those time slots and you'll get a spot for a card?

what if i already missed the 9pm slot? even if i show up for the 11pm slot, that means i already lost my chance at getting one??? wth

Once you're here and on the list there's gonna be roll calls at those times to make sure everyone's still here so it's fair and take people off the list that don't show up.  At 6 we'll all line up in order of the list to get vouchers at 7.  The voucher guarantees you a card, but not a particular card so if you want to pick your model then you stay in line till the store opens.

It's like HiHungry said. There is a list in place. The list is being handled by the first few people in line who figured it was a disaster and started the list proactively. They are people who have stepped up in this time of craziness and I thank them for doing that. I signed in at 8:15 and was #69 on the list. At 9pm (now) they are going to do roll call and make sure people that signed in are still here. If not you get booted. Rinse and repeat at 11pm, 2am then at 6AM the store will have an employee hand out vouchers for the cards. This is the information I know for a fact. Also fact. The store has signs posted saying there are 85 confirmed cards in stock. So once the list hits 85, well hope someone doesn't show up for roll call?
Edit: list is full

In case anyone was wondering about Tustin.

what if i leave now? im about an hour away from tustin, could i still check in at 11pm and the rest of the time slots and be good? i missed the 9pm check in by this point, obviously. btw, thanks for the info! highly appreciated.

We already have more people than guaranteed cards so if you come now you'd go on the wait list to see if people leave.

Mayfield heights is pretty empty right now if anyone wondered

Scratch that, it went from 2 to 7 

So the bulk of people didn't arrive till after close? I'll still be there well before then but just curious.
