I think it says that the deal actually starts on Thursday at 11am PST - 1000 units available at this price. That'd make a decent Christmas gift.

[herpsky]

i will be sitting at my computer

frantically pressing F5

[Arethusa]

Yeah, good luck getting one as a million other people DOS Amazon's server farm. It should be entertaining, at least.

[daikonyama]

It still beats getting shot over a PS3.

[herpsky]

i heard there was a strategy for logging on to the page

when the server gets really busy

[thelion1856]

so does anyone know how it works, it says i'm signed in to amazon.com, so does it have my credit card on file or will i have to type all that shit in again?

[aitsuka]

I can't buy it!!! wtf!!!! server busy!?!?

[xcoldricex]

holy shit for that price i want one. haha.

[ardeetee]

i hope someone gets one, this is posted on a bunch of other huge forums as well

[tm]

fuck

won't ship to canada.

[Caps Lock]

I will buy. Nuff said.

[herpsky]

about 100000000000000000000 people are competing for the 1000

units...

[sygyzy]

Thursday. This is probably the smartest strategy I've seen. Tell everyone it's a different day so you have less competition.

[thelion1856]

okay guys they will be selling them next week so dont bother wasting your time logging on to get it, try again next week.

[Brienneoftarth]

it says thrusday 11am pacific....is that today? or next week?

[Caps Lock]

Could not buy, the server got overloaded is my guess and not everybody could get in. It REALLY SUCKS thats I didnt get in, I was waiting for mad long too. I wanted xbox360 specifically.

[derdankhund]

i waited too...didn't get shit

at least I wasn't camped out in a parking lot...I was just waiting while the page tried to load for five minutes...

[Caps Lock]

But my question is, how did the server get overloaded so quick? Isnt' amazon a giant coporation who can take this many orders at once?

[herpsky]

no luck for me

the pages didnt load

[keri]

I tried, and I got in in time, but I couldn't figure out how to add it to my cart!!!!

[herpsky]

i was wondering that as well

[Arethusa]

They were probably getting a couple million hits constantly refreshing for half an hour. Even google'd probably slow down under that. Told you this would happen.

I considered getting that bike. Not a bad deal. Guess I'll pass for now, though.

Oh, damn you.

[stillthehorror]

yeah.

amazon pretty much died about five minutes before eleven.

would have been a nice present for myself.

[__3xL]

It was a lottery like ... they purposely didn't let everyone get to the cart stage ..

they passed me thru like 2 pages of math questions - answered them quickly and off to the next page ..

I got one .... $299 - $199 discount .....

No not really just read some buyers comments ..

I dont want the bike, diamond earrings, dvd player, barbie doll, nor gift cerificate. I just want the xbox360. I heard they MIGHT do the xbox thing again. That would be great.
