Just thought it was funny how badly Amazon's servers are getting annihilated right now with people trying to get a 360 Core system for $100. Can't bring up Any of their pages right now, heh.

Already gone. I got it to load in 3 browsers. Somehow, before I could even connect. It sold out.

Heh, obviously. Oh well. I have no luck with this sort of thing anyway.

I'd like to give a hearty Fuck You to Amazon also.
If you're gonna have a deal like this - be equipped to handle the DDOS.

I managed to get one of the 1 year prime memberships with $100 toys gift certificate. But it looks like they're doing it for $40 next week.
Ya know, I hate the internet. It's a giant digital fucking gladiator arena. I've obviously not trained enough against dorks. I should've stripped the images off the page before trying to load it.
Fuck.
I'm gonna go play some 360.

Doh, that would have been a great idea, going text-only on the browser. Oh well.
I guess I'll just have to look forward to an eventual Wii purchase then.

Yah I got the page to load once at 11:55am (sell time was noon my time), hit refresh a few minutes later and was "waiting for amazon.com" until about 10mins after noon, at which point it said they were sold out.
Ah well, it was worth a shot. Maybe someone who needs cash for a PS3 will sell me an xbox 360 for cheap.

Apparently, not only Amazon's site got hammered, but Wal-Mart's got it even worse. Compared to Wally World, Amazon's site held together fairly well. Wal-Mart's site started handing people crayons and saying "Draw it your damn self."

I'm sure somebody can find a good video on YouTube about what happens when you drop an unbelievably good bargain in front of way too many people who can benefit from it. Yoink! Call me a commie, but give me a fair deal for all instead of a bargain for few.

I can only wish that someone had videotaped this. |
