I distinctly remember buying a Radeon Vega 56 in-person at Microcenter on launch day because I must have been worried about price, availability, or both. That was seven years ago.

(That and my 9070 XT -- also bought in-person on launch day for MSRP -- are the only GPUs I've bought in the last decade.)
