If you have the controller in your cart, try again

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

didn't mean for it to come across like that, completely honestly. this was the first thread about this i stumbled over after getting home, so i chimed in on how my experience worked out. it's only now that i've checked around the other threads that i see that this apparently overwhelmed them and people aren't getting through.

Idk their comments read pretty neutral to me, I don't think they intended to do anything but frankly share their buying experience. But idk, I'm not a mind reader. Sorry about not getting in on that first batch, I get that's frustrating. For what it's worth, I doubt the shortage will last too long, it's my understanding that none of the individual components have supply issues. Mother's Day is out the window unfortunately but hopefully soon 🤞

We'd all be happier for you if you were a touch less glib. And especially if you sent me your extra for my wife. She's not even gonna use it as much as I would one of my own, but it was supposed to be an important gift, so it's for her.

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.

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

u/lime@feddit.nu · 1 points

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

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

u/lime@feddit.nu · 2 points

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...

...from europe?

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

u/SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 2 points

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

And of course they're already being scalped for 6x MSRP on eBay… I fucking hate humanity.
