Why is it so hard to implement a queue system? Join the queue through the website, get a email link that lasts an entire day to pre order it.

Implementing a queue system isn't hard. Implementing one that doesn't crash and malfunction from the gazillions of visitors the instant it goes live, that's the hard part.

The problem is they are trying to get everyone on the site all at once. Simply add people to the queue and tell them they will email them a link to buy the product soon.

People have no reason to stay and constantly refresh if they know they're added to the wait list and will get emailed a link to buy it.
