    I get the following message when trying to link to the HP 40% off live.com cash back link:

    Oops
    This isn't the page you wanted!

    Try this
    Refresh the page. If you get this message again, please check back later.

    This site is temporarily unavailable, please check back soon.

    Am I doing something wrong or is the server down? Is there anything I can do to make this link work or should I just wait an hour or two for traffic to die down a bit? Do you think it will stay log jammed the entire duration of the sale (only 12 hours I think)? If so, will repeatedly refreshing allow me to connect or is the system just plain down? I suspect everyone constantly refreshing is part of the problem!

    I really want to take advantage of this deal as I am definitely buying a dv5t for my wife for X-mas, so saving some cash is virtually guaranteed if I can only get through!

    Both are getting hammered. For a while I couldn't even get to live search and now that I can I can't get to HP through live search. And if I go directly to HP the first few pages load then once you get to the products it seems to grinds to a halt or is very very slow.

    Oh and I get the same oops message.

    Echoing the same...

    Having my fingers crossed for something to change by 7:00 PST tonight as I too was hoping to buy a laptop as a gift using the discount!
