      Ah sorry if I mislead you, it’s a raffle because you sign up for a reservation list but it’s not guarantee you’ll be selected, on the 25th their system will random pick some and send the email, with the 72 hour deadline to buy

        Yeah, I should have spent a little time figuring that out. Now I just need to hope I don’t win: I don’t want it as much as they’re charging

        They are really cool machines and my teens would love them, so yes, if it were an actual raffle that would be fantastic.

            For sure, that’s why I went directly there without finding out, amazed it could still be open

            But I imagine deterring scalpers is a big problem art of the reason to raffle for a spot in line. Scalpers are actually a big part of the reason we switched away from consoles to begin with. When the Xbox series X was released, two Christmases in a row, I was unable to get them because limited stock and too many scalpers. Fuck that.
