Re: xbox 360 core system for $100 on amazon
said by Fox McCloud  :What would be insanely funny is if a lowly 56Ker managed to nab one. *chuckles* Even though I was not up for this deal, at all, I am still disappointed in Amazon for not having sufficient enough servers. Wanna bet they amp server load for Christmas and next Thanksgiving and Xmas? |

Yea, we all probably refreshed at the same time. I, admittedly, was using the auto-refresh function in opera. All 6 of my tabs (ok ok..I know..but I know some people had multiple computers setup for this thing) timed out and I couldn't even access the page until around 11:15. I was just like WTF! Really, amazon was NOT ready for this at all. |

said by ScottJr :I think people are bitter. I did not get one, but I did jump back in and got the bike, so it is not a total loss. There were literally millions of people in there trying to get it at once. That means each user had less than a one in a thousand chance at getting the 360. Wait 'til next week. Portable DVD player for $25! I will be trying again!  it's not about bitter, it's about amazon not being able to keep their site functional during the event.
i would have found it more acceptable to have been able to get a page load with "sold out" rather than looking at "loading..." for 5-10 minutes followed by "sold out". |
