5080 and 5090
Hello, when the 5000 series cards come out will there be a limit across the whole series? That is, can I buy a 5080 when it comes out and then a 5090 when that comes out after, or is there a limit of one 5000 series in a 30 day period?

Terrible customer service.
Micro center removed their phone number for their store, perhaps because when you try to actually contact the line after waiting in a queue for half an hour it tells you there is a problem, tells you to try again later, and then hangs up on you.

I really like Logitech mice, but I'm…

Support Chat still not working
I simply wanted to check the balance of a gift card. I expected to be able to enter the card number into a form, hit a button and see the balance.
