If I get one, I'm going to pick up Gears of War, and maybe Dead Rising tomorrow when I try to get a Wii.

Thats just cold. Besides, we're the least of your worries on this one.

Yeah, the rest of the country is going to be the problem here.

Anyway, I'm at my computer and will do my best to secure one.  I assume that if I get a code I can then have it shipped to someone else's place, which I will certainly do provided I am given prompt repayment.  As to who I would choose... that'll depend on a variety of things, like who wants to send me the most hookers.

I can't even get to the Amazon page right now.  It must be pretty bad.

Yeah, me either.  I got a halfway reload, but now the 360 isn't there anymore.  Did it sell out already?

Sweet.  I can't get the page to load at all, so I guess that's it for me.  Sorry guys!  That would have been a Christmas present for one of you, but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Page not loading for me either.  Actually, I got it to load twice, but once the deal wasn't even there and then the other time it said to come back at 11:00am PST (too early).

I still can't get Amazon to load.

I wonder if I burned my chances by having like 6 tabs loading.

Who the fuck won this thing and how?  I hit refresh a good 4 minutes before 2:00 (or 11, if youre pst) and it took me until 2:07 for the page to load.  How the fuck are you supposed to get it?

well, I'm going to try that whole Circuit City price match thing. I highly doubt they will match it, but it's worth a shot I guess.

Man, If I don't get a Wii in the morning, I'm going to be in a bad mood.

My guess is they won't because Amazon already sold out of them, so they'll say that that isn't the current price any longer.

I wonder how much traffic there had to be to slow down the amazon servers that much. I mean, they aren't a small company, the servers have to be pretty substantial.

Anyways, that sucks that no one got it. I wasn't even at my computer at that time, I had family obligations to take care of, unless I would have probably tried.

You have to remember in networking there aren't just servers, there are routers and switches and DNS servers.  Those can get overloaded too.

I doubt it was their servers being overloaded.  More likely it was a router or two.

Guess someone on the IGN boards works at amazon and posted some stats from this deal:

Random fact for the day. I'm at work right now (amazon.com) and got the stats on yesterday's promo:

Here's the exact second in which each of the Week#1 Customer Vote items sold out:

# Xbox (1000 units) - 11:00:29 PST (29 seconds)

# Bike (5000 units) - 11:14:43 PST (14 minutes and 43 seconds)

# Barbie (2000 units)- 11:15:38 PST (15 minutes and 38 seconds)

# Prime (2000 units) - 11:16:58 PST (16 minutes and 58 seconds)
