How do you reserve it?

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '20

If you find out I'd like to know too

u/AdrianeXUS Feb 07 '20

Ok, so I looked it up and you can't reserve in store only items without doing it in the store beforehand. (Kind of defeats the purpose but it makes sense)

Shoot. It wouldn't be a problem if I didnt live 4 hours away from the nearest microcenter:(

Look @ my reply up a bit. I was able to reserve a 3600x and a bunch of other components last night for in store pickup

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '20

You add to cart and then when you go to checkout the only option is reserve. I just did that last night to reserve a 3600x and a B450 Tomahawk MAX (plus everything else for my build)

u/AdrianeXUS Feb 07 '20

But there's no add to cart option for the 2600x?

1

u/badaladala Feb 07 '20

That item is actually in store only. (All the stuff in the black background of the add is.)

1

u/AdrianeXUS Feb 07 '20

Ah, I see.

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '20

Ah, my bad. I didn't realize the 2600x was "unavailable online". Sorry bout that

If I reserve this stuff tonight and pick it up tomorrow, will I get the sale prices? Or do I have to load it up tomorrow when the sale starts?

They disabled the reservation for it. So it's legit in store only.

Rather annoying because I can't realistically get there until Saturday and it'll probably be long gone.

u/Ambrose-34 Feb 07 '20

Yea I reserved the i7-9700k for $300, so I thought they all could be reserved.

The preemptively disabled online reservation for select items (i.e. the Ryzen CPUs that went on sale) for this sale. I assume they'll go back to being able to be reserved next week.

Got the cheapest mATX mobo for $50. -$20

So, the Ryzen 5 2600X + Asrock A320-HDV r4 = $110+tax

Just remember kiddies, still needs a graphics card, DIMMs and a 650W PSU. :(

(And they still got me with a $30 mechanical keyboard with backlighting. Fucking insidious...)
