[–] markz@suppo.fi 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Yeah but is anyone gonna pay that?

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Never underestimate the level of dipshittery in this world

[–] vividspecter@aussie.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago

I'll keep trying.....

Was back in stock for 20 seconds so I got it added to my cart...

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Still says out of stock 😔

[–] meowcar420@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

just got mine 15 minutes ago (i'm in germany)

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Pretty sure it is actually out of stock now.

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 5 points 3 weeks ago

Definitely, they removed the banner from the front of the store

[–] lime@feddit.nu 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

i didn't even have an issue buying two. it just worked.

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Lol, why are you being downvoted?

[–] lime@feddit.nu 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

i can see how it can be read as bragging, perhaps? i could probably have been a bit more sensitive about it. honestly i just jumped on the steam store after a friend told me they had released, and i got no lag or anything. could just add to cart. i thought they must have stocked plenty of them and beefed up their infra.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Because they are just bragging.

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Are they? Or are they just being frank?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] lime@feddit.nu 4 points 3 weeks ago

i don't even know a frank

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

Damn I'm embarrassed by how long it took me to get that lol

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's great! I'll pay you cost plus shipping for the other, thanks. My wife asked for this for Mothers' Day.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

...from europe?

i think that's the reason it worked, honestly. they probably had them shipped out pre-launch.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

they're saying 10 days of shipping minimum, and to expect delays. so if you want it for the eighth i'm afraid i can't help you...

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I am confident that she's willing to wait, considering the lead time for another batch from the factory.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

oh they're that understocked huh? i can help you out then.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah just the one would be great. Two would be fabulous, but I understand if you want to keep one for yourself.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 3 weeks ago

sure, i'll ping you when they arrive, i'm assuming it's either friday next week or the monday after. shoot me a dm if i forget.
