128GB Sold Out??

[runamuck83]

So, it appears the 128GB is already sold out online. Also, a cursory check of Best Buy shows no 128GB available in my area. Checking Staples they have the 128GB as "Online Only"

The 64GB version doesn't appear to have such an issue.


128GB shortage!

 

[camdenlake]

Yep thats what i am finding aswell. Not sure if it was a logistics issue or what?? Hope i can find atleast one 128 today or may get the 64 and a big sd card for now.

Yeah. What a jacked up launch. No preorder, Staples only gets 64's, and few BB got anything. What a bummer.

Got my 128GB at the Microsoft Store

I preordered at Best Buy. Then found out they were receiving 0 at my Best Buy this week.

Could it be production issues have meant low initial stocks? If so, no wonder they're holding back on giving launch dates elsewhere.

Lack of prep on MSs end. This sucks. They could have been prepared at least and increased unit production. They're bound to sell. There was a larger turnout at my local BB.

This is assuming that they were unprepared.

1 was available at my local best buy, I was 2nd in line, and there were 10+ others behind me.

Next shipment is expected Tuesday.

Rumor from the line was that businesses have bought up the majority of the initial inventory.

I drove to the Columbia MD store and got there at 10. They weren't selling the 128s without a reserve card but had 64s. That sucked. I should have known MS was going to short sell these because of RT. smh. I then called MS and no 128s in the whole area. Staples had 1 64 and BB hadn't had their shipment in.

 

[VagrantWade]

No one ****s up a launch as well as Microsoft. No idea why they delayed release for Best Buy and Staples when they don't even get any to sell.

I went into the msoft store at 9:20, expecting to be hanging around because they said they opened at 10 (even today as per the phone call I made yesterday).

low and behold, doors were open and they were selling.

I got the last one without a reservation card. I know because the poor dude that walked in after me got told he could get on a waiting list that they would call out on at 8pm tonight for any not picked up by reservation cards.

anyway, I love this thing!!!

I assume there is a fixed supply here... all they could do is push the release date back to stockpile more supply, but the net isn't going to be any different.

Besides, being out of stock is actually better than too much these days. people want what they cant have, appears to be in demand and desirable.

I'm in line at Seattle store. There are about 70 people in front of me.

 

[badMojo69]

How long b4 everyone starts the complaining about heat, fan, battery life, and sluggishness?

 

[wvanellis]

Microsoft only seems to be able to perfect screwing things up. There are zero Surface Pros (62 and 128) available in the 2 Chicago are Microsoft Stores. Only one 64gb available at any best buy in a 20 miles radius of 60657. MS online store is sold out and they're not even taking orders to send out once its bask in stock.

I'm flying to Southern California tomorrow, considering the time zone, how can Best Buy, Staples, and the MS Store in South Coast plaza all show as not in stock and they ARE NOT OPEN YET!!!!


How can this be? did MS send out 100 Surface Pros nationwide?

What a freaking joke.

 

[hounddogdaddy]

My precious

 

[holmesr]

Somebody bought all the 128gb Surface Pro's in the whole state of Texas! Before 10:30am. Yes, I'm talking MS, BB & Staples. Right.

 

[Luke Kailburn]

oh well, patience is a virtue. This will give time for the first wave of bug fixes to be released and then maybe i'll reconsider getting the 128GB

Remember the thread a week ago that said Best Buy was doing reservations with the purchase of a $50 card, well, you should have gone in and done that. The GM at my local Best Buy (near Dallas) told me that most stores got ONE unit in (if any). Since I reserved my 128GB (and was the first to do so at my store) I got the ONLY 128GB model in the area. The GM told me that there was a line at the store, and 3 people basically cursed everyone out at the store. They had to hide my Surface until I got there.

It was pretty funny, when I walked to the tablet area with my email, the girl that signed me up last Saturday grabbed me and literally ran to the front to get the manager to get my unit out. It was like they REALLY wanted it out of the store.
