AMD's Latest Web-Store Drop Leaves Users in Anger Over a Broken Website
According to this Reddit thread, multiple AMD customers are reporting that the latest stock update on AMD's web store has left them without a desired product, and anger over the broken functionality. As AMD operates its own web-based storefront with all the latest CPUs and GPUs, users are constantly checking if the store has anything to offer in these times of processor scarcity, where it is impossible to purchase the latest generation of graphics cards or processors. AMD updated the website today with the newest batch of Ryzen processors and Radeon graphics cards, users have been reporting that the website functionality has been broken.
Multiple users tried to purchase their desired product, but the AMD website notified them that the queue is paused for about 30 minutes, and seemingly no one was able to purchase anything. People have been reporting that the Captcha used to verify that you are not a robot has failed as well, and adding the product to the cart was impossible, as seen in the image below. As there are multiple such comments posted in the thread, it leads us to write a report on it, wondering what is going on with AMD's storefront operations and what AMD is doing about it. With multiple users trying to purchase an AMD product, they were left with their hands empty, to wonder what is going on.

There is cheaper in France, how is it even possible ? :wtf:
Did you get abducted and killed? Must be your fault for minding your own business in your own well locked up house.
That's what happens when your government runs a deficit for 40 years and hasn't seen a net gain since Grandma was a kid.
Don't worry though, rest of the world is going down this same path now.
I'm not sure why you are talking about the government, Rueducommerce = Carrefour which is an international company :D

EDIT : It appears it is no more owned by Carrefour but by Shopinvest since 2020.

So yeah, sure, lots of this stuff is made by local companies, but not even sold here and almost none of them have webshops of their own.
In fact, unless they get local orders for a product, they won't even offer that product for sale, which is a bit of a catch 22...
That said, unless you get a <15 minute queue time, you aren't getting anything, so it's still near impossible to get a card. I'm buying my first NEW Nvidia card this weekend in well over a decade because I'm tired of waiting and someone snagged one for me at MSRP.
I hope there is a class action lawsuit to cook those who profited on this graphics card hoarding situation, be it large scale miners, scalpers, AIBs, vendors, ect.
There is no reason to be using the AMD store right now. Most of Europe's retailers have decent stocks of CPUs and reasonable quantities of 6600XT
If you want 6700/6800/6900 then good luck but getting it from the AMD store is no more or less horrible than trying to get it from anywhere else. There simply aren't enough cards at reasonable price to go around, so pay the scalper price or shut up.
CoolPC has some stuff that's a bit more unusual and there's one or two more places like that, but you still miss out on things that are much more widely available in Europe and the US. Their website is also impossible to use.
A lot of brands simply don't sell their products here as well.
Sure, there are little things you can get here that might be a lot harder to walk into a shop in Europe or the US and get there and then, but it's mostly cables/adapters and such things.
