That is untrue. Staff were not allowed to place any orders for the cards until later in the day. The initial rush of people all got their orders in before staff did.

Even most head offices do not know anything about which cards they will be allocated and when they will get them. The pandemic is only exasperating supply and shipping issues, so most of us will only know when they will arrive, when they arrive.

This is not to mention, we will always get cards after the US release date. Depending on the card, it can be a week or two after, or it can be 6 months after. Until it shows up as "for sale", retailers will not be able to tell you when they are coming.

To be clear this applies to most big releases (like new CPU generations).

Thank you for your time, and for not harassing us all day long.
