This is meant to be a great way of bringing attention to Amazon to get some more sales right? If anything it’s irritated more than evoked good will towards them. I’m fucking fed up of the number of times i’ve clicked within a fraction of second, in fact i don’t even recollect seeing the add to basket button. Did i ever get anything? Like fuck i did. In my mind there is another criteria that amazon is working by; Does this person spend a lot of money on amazon? What’s the point is a good will gesture if that person doesn’t spend a lot of money there right?

In reply to Flappybat.

I’m still in the queue almost 20 minutes late :S
I’ll have to leave my browser open just in case but I think it’s safe to assume that I missed out. There is no way anybody could have clicked faster than I did without the use of controlled substances 🙁

Well.

It came up for £50, I was waiting, pressed add to basket as soon as it appeared, it spent 20 seconds spinning waiting in queue then said out of stock.

In reply to Fnerk. Tempting to put in an order for 3000 xbox's and then cancel them to tie up stock LOL

In reply to Goatmonkey. Damn, unsurprisingly I didn't explain it at 4:30AM. There was zero stock, the PSPgo started out 'Expired' with 0% 'claimed', and Amazon quickly yanked the deal as if it hadn't happened in the first place. Really, really poor form, although that's been the case all week really.

In reply to Rich. Good point. Oh the uninteresting life of a PhD student. Too many snot nosed teens will be up around then though.

In reply to Rich. Not everyone. Some people go out on Friday nights. That's probably their thinking anyway.

In reply to JamesG. Ah, the finale. That makes sense. Also means competition is going to tough. Everyone'll be at home at that time.

In reply to Rich. To build up hype and get people on the site, some of them are bound to buy something.

If they put the xbox on at stupid o’clock, I shall be really annoyed.
I’d also be surprised. What would be the point?
