    This sounds awesome! but only 300 of them... thats going to be a hard time to get one, we could probably take all 300 just by NBR members. Your competing with the whole world to get one.

    I am going to try though.

    So for selling 300 mystery boxes they will get 3000+ new accounts.

    Considering this deal has been posted to Slick deals and a number of deal sites, the odds of any NBR members getting in at all is low.

    Taken from site:
    You have no items in your shopping cart. Get something in it! Orders ship for as low as $4.95! but then I see: free shipping also, but that expires tonight! :)


    Good luck to those NBR Members that are going for this deal!l! :D

    Not really. Just pointing out that NBR numbers don't number that many compared to the people who want free stuff. :p

    Razer's not particularly dumb, free shipping ends at 11:59 tonight. lol

    Not if I can beat you. Bet you most of the 300 items are trash items such as pouch.

    No, it's not. You are guaranteed an item if you manage to get one of the random loot bags. Seeing as to how there are 300 bags and an unknown number out there who are interested, the odds are stacked.

    This isn't mentioning the fact that the overwhelming amount of people going to the site has killed the site. ETA 1 hour and 30 min... Hope site comes back up before then.

    I figured as much would happen earlier. Which is why I mentioned the odds of anyone from NBR getting in as infinitesimal. ;)

    Should have knocked on wood... Refreshed and BAM doesn't load again...
    Sigh... I guess it's a battle of the first 300 after 12:01 that can connect to the server...

    How is Razer "juvenile"? :confused:

    I've been trying for half an hour, and the page has not loaded once for me.

    For anyone lucky enough to get in, use the coupon code 'razerftw' for free shipping. ;)

    I forgot about this totally was doing work its 17 after 12:00 now and I see the page is under maintenance.

    I wonder if that means maybe I can still get in there when the site opens up again. or if the 300 went on the first onslaught before the page went down.

    I don't really think so. Their mice are all named after deadly snakes, which, considering their intended use as instruments of (virtual) death, I think is pretty neat and fitting. And then their keyboards are named after deadly spiders, and their audio stuff after sharks and other killer fish...I like their naming schemes.

    Still getting the maintenance message here.

    It's geared for gamers... and as such they must think that all gamers are 14-16 year olds. The names seem exotic and such.
