If only 40 minutes wasn’t so bad. From what I saw earlier, it looks like I have over an hour before I get my 3070.

Well my credit card flagged it as fraud and declined it so idk if I am relieved or not

I (kind of) feel your pain.  I secured a PS5 order from Kohl's after midnight Sunday morning.  This morning it was cancelled.  We cannot catch a break.  

sorry to hear that.  rats!

 
I will survive.  It was an opportunistic find...as while I am hunting for one, my search was more if one falls in my lap.  I actually feel a bit for Kohl's (is that wrong of me?)...apparently they had around 2,000 to 2,500 stock of PS5 but got over 100,000.  They have a promotion going on right now that gives a purchaser "Kohl's Cash"...they are allowing the consumers whose orders were cancelled to retain their Kohl's cash.  Rough math...excluding the 2,500 orders they didn't cancel, the cancelled orders end up at a liability of approximately $17.5M in Kohl's Cash (each good for one USD on Kohl's website).  Pretty painful hit, but especially in goodwill.  
 
I'll end up finding a PS5 eventually.  And, yes, I will feel a little guilty spending my 180 in Kohl's Cash from my cancelled order.  I've never shopped at Kohl's before and am unlikely to again.  Am I the bad guy here?

man, that really sucks.  Hoping you can rectify it still.

I saw that Paypal cleared my payment to BB, for the 3090FE.  Hoping I can still pick it up on Friday.  I was of a similar mindset.  Originally wanting a 3080 black, and no chance of getting one unless you pay the extortion fees. $1300-1400??  insane, So when I saw the 3090FE pop up, I impulsed and bought it.  (I was also pre-logged into Paypal and BB, when made things a bit faster). For nearly the same price, getting the 3090FE vs the scalped prices for a 3080. (Though I'd never buy anything from a scalper, "F" those guys). 
 
I'm like Don.  I spend about 90% of my time flying DCS, Il-2, (and soon MFS2020), in VR.  I'm practically always in VR.  So maybe the added VRAM will be a nice little boost for my VR experience.  (With my Reverb G2).
 
I really hope you get this squared away, and get your card.

Agreed.  We have all waited longer than we deserve to.  

Good luck to all.
 
@javelina1, what's your preferred flight stick for a newbie.  I have a 10 year old Thrustmaster that is in serious need of replacement/upgrade.  

Hi enewt,
 
I'm using a Thrustmaster Warthog, and I replaced the stick base with a Virpil WarBRD.  An awesome replacement for the precision it offers.  Especially with the Air to Air refueling...  My rudder pedals, I'm using MFG Crosswinds.

Unfortunately, an hour on a 3070 in the launch day congestion...you likely have more than a month to wait.  I am sorry I don't have better news.

2021 here I come! Lmao maybe a miracle happens.

Order placed for the 3070 XC3 Ultra:

Thanks.  I am really close to pulling the trigger on a new flight stick.  It just doesn't make sense for me until I have a gpu that can drive Flight Simulator.  Even Star Wars Squadrons is only my list. 
 
Thanks for the feedback!
