    Bummer; my feeling is that the whole webcast thing isn't such a great idea.

    Oh, I gave up on the Pink Friday sale after trying for like 45 minutes to a constant busy signal, items selling out w/in minutes, and disorganization with the webcast.. :eek:

    I ordered a Red Inspiron 9 mini thru Dell, using my EPP discount! I'm have to say..I'm finally content now..that I finally ordered! ;) :) Got a decent price too! :D

    I never saw it the time, I was checking out the webcast :(

    got through again when they were offering the 64gb flash for $70
    but they ran out and told me they were offering some time of
    computer optimizer for $20, didn't get it though since I've never
    heard of it before but it supposedly retails for 50-60

    I'm still gonna shoot for the sony tt hoping for some miracle :3

    Lenovo S10 "coming up" according to one of the hosts, could also mean that it will be there in an hour or maybe the next ten minutes but it hasn't been sold yet.

    I am sure they are holding that until about last. It is probably the most popular.

    Their only going to have one unit for sale and it will be sold at the end of the webcast, midnight, 11PM central.

    I will HATE the lucky guy that gets it. Unless its me, which will never happen. Should I even try? I will go CRAZY if I manage to get it.

    Was too much of a hassle, kind of wondering why I sat there for five hours, lol. The phones were never working right, and they even had the numbers wrong at times.

    Oh well, at least it was for a good cause, so I can't say the night was a total waste.

    Me neither. Sadly, all the technical issues kept me from what I actually wanted. I saw all of the other things.

    This was some real BS.

    I did end up getting that Dell on their website though. As soon as their price goes up, I can sell it on Ebay for $100 more.

    Wow that was lame. I missed the 64GB USB for $79. I tried for the 360/PC Controller for $20, the Toshiba LCD HDTV for $249, and the 8800GTX + for $90. :(

    its funny how they really messed up the phone lines because everytime I got
    through, it was like a minute or two after they posted the number. So even though the first couple calls said the item was sold it, calling enough time would get you through eventually. I thought this might be the case when I notice the text they sent were delayed, but I tried calling after getting a text and it worked. Too bad no sony tt :p

    Yeah, it's too bad things got messed up...with the webcast, the constant *all circuits are busy*, and selling out after a few moments of being shown on the webcast. :(

    Regardless, I hope they profited a good amount of money for the cause! :D :yes:

    Maybe next year...if they do it again, it will be more organized ~ so peep's will have a chance to actually order something! ;)
