Best Buy locks Nvidia GPUs behind a $200 paywall and calls it a 'benefit'
In order to buy highly in-demand graphics cards from the nation's largest electronics retailer, you have to join its Prime-style premium tier

I'm sure some people will try and argue for it and make up some lame excuses, but at the end of the day bestbuy is setting a bad presidence by saying "you know those hard to find 500 dollar items? Well if you pay us 200 dollars you can have priority access to buy them for 500 dollars". If it works for them expect to see other things like ps5 show up as only a priority benefit and pretty soon you'll see new release Blu rays or anything show up behind the pay wall.
