También os digo, las tiendas no son estúpidas y se están blindando un poco y, como veis en el pantallazo, limitan el número de ítems por persona...

Eso si, nada impide a un cabrón motivado el hacerse 7 cuentas distintas… O como se ha visto en sitios como The Gundam Base (donde tienen muchos kits exclusivos que SOLO se pueden comprar allí) tienes aun pavo motivado que va entra, compra, sale, y vuelve a hacer todo otra vez para volver a pasar por caja… Porque la limitación es de 'items por compra' y no de 'veces que puedes comprar'.

Top Idol-Turned-Actor's Agency Gets Praised For Smart Solution To Stopping Ticket Scalpers - KpopNewsHub – Latest K-Pop News, Idols & Korean Entertainment

Former Wanna One Park Jihoon’s agency is receiving praise from fans after implementing what many are calling a smart solution to ticket scalping for his

@adr Granted, just by the hardware parts they'd loose out if they were to sell at €749 (you can thank the #AIbubble as well as #RAM & #NAND - #Tripol #Cartel and lack of #regulation for that).

  • OFC #retailers also want their margin, and unless one's in a position like #Apple, the #retail margin will be 10-20% depending on the market, whether it's a #online or in-presence stores or whatever. And that is already a low margin.

Everyone who expects this a €499 box is fucking dellusional at this point, because with the current memory prices and expected developments people would just buy truckloads of them to harvest the #GabeCube for it's #RAM, #SSD & #VRAM and scrap the rest.

If the #GabeCube is competitive priced if not cheaper than equivalent #Desktops and #Servers then we'd see every #business with "strategic procurement" just buy literal truckloads expecting #DRAM & #Flash prices to not come down this upgrade cycle (aka. within 5 years) but still needing some machines to work with as the heightened prices - like the #ChipShortage before - will strangulate the #UsedMarket.

  • I kid you not, we'd rather see #scalpers and #businesses equipping employees with cash, credit cards and high-value gift cards just to pick shelves clean (just like it happens with #GPUs because that shit is now hotter on the black market than "research chemicals" because it has less risk and higher payouts).

So do expect the #Gabecube to cost way more than €749 + VAT and closer to €999 than €749 since #Poland has a low #VAT / #GST rate and is a 'low income' place (compared to the EU-Average)...

  • The €749 would've been more realistic by the time it was announced but the €499 never were for any non-closed system subsidized harder than the #PS3.
RAM: WTF?

@simonzerafa I remember then this was closer to € 99…

  • In fact, I grapped myself a cheap (#DDR4!) kit for like €75 two years back!

Fuck the #AIbubble and espechally the #RAM manufacturers!

RAM prices are up 171%, outpacing gold. Sam Altman locked up 40% of global memory supply for AI. Micron just exited the consumer market. Now we get to pay more for electronics with less storage and memory.
