"Selected for the lottery sale"
Goddamn that's like the ps5. "Be a good little corpo shill and might WIN a CHANCE at being honored with the opporunity to give a us $500!
Personally I think it's a much fairer system than letting bots scalp all units on their website. Unless you'd prefer that?

Its a good way to combat scalpers and gives ordinary people at least a chance to buy it without spam refreshing a website only for bots to grab everything anyway.
