Re: Total BS!

I guess I would have felt better if I could have at least loaded the page somewhere close to 11:00 so it could have told me it was out of stock. But I could not load the page for about 8 minutes and I knew by then it was over. With as many people that knew about this I knew I had little chance at getting one, but perhaps they should look at other ways to sell this stuff so that more people will at least get a shot at it. Not being able to pull up the page means you have no chance, at least with the lottery you have just as good of a chance to win as everybody else.

I.E. one in a Million (or more) -- You actually had a better chance getting the X-Box than winning the lottery. The long wait was simply your version of 'getting the last 4 numbers wrong'. The people who got the X-Box were the people who actually managed to get the packet timinhgs that allowed them to complete the transaction in the first 28 seconds that it wasn't sold out.

If your connections took longer than that, then you didn't win the X-box lottery.
