They should just make a buffer system where it takes 20 minutes per order to checkout

this is basically almost that. idk how well its working but seems like a very good idea, and basically just common sense applied...

Since when is waiting hard for a computer?

I'll have you know, in my time of memory overclocking, I've achieved levels of instability you could only dream of. Instability that only manifested when the system waited too long and decided to take a nap (resume from S3, suspend to RAM). Imagine being stable under Linpack, various heavy compression workloads and even gaming but only crash after waking from sleep, lol. For most computers, waiting might not be difficult, but for my computer, waiting is the most stressful part.

 

Ended up buying PassMark's sleeper tool to add to my RAM stress testing methodology

Why does anyone care this much the answer to get rid of bots is extremely simple. Don't buy from scalpers. Thats it a few months go by and the problem goes away and most likely you get a cheaper product because they want to get rid of them instead of having 10s of thousands dollars worth of product sitting around.  If adults would stop acting like children and complaining when they don't get a console day 1 this wouldn't be a problem. You don't NEED a console so stop acting like spoiled children.

There's no way for me to even go into the queue, no buy button, nothing. Just a message saying it launches 12 Nov 2020 and below  a 'choose your edition' section with nothing to click or select.

You can get in the queue only when they are in stock. What you need to do is keep an eye on the site. Once in stock, getting into the store requires completing a captcha and staying in the queue.
