I don't mind losing, but I want at least a chance at it beforehand. I was totally shut out in the cold wayyy before I could even look at the site. Plus I hear now it went live before exactly 2pm (Eastern government time). So to hell with that. This gimmick sucked and if anything, Amazon is going to drive people AWAY from their site, in anger or frustration. As for the X-Box, right back out of my price range now. Glad I've got my Wii to keep me warm this winter I suppose. This feels so gimmick-y. 99% of the people never had a chance starting over five minutes before the promotion went live.

I refreshed the page every 10 seconds from 10:57 to 11:00am PST and then the entire amazon.com site went down. When I finally got the page to come up everything was already soldout. I have already bought Christmas gifts from Amazon.com and I'm returning them to buy at another retailer. This whole promotion sucked. This whole promotion was crap.

This is a fantastic deal! No matter whether you are going to use it or not, the turn around cannot be ignored. On the other hand I am glad that you will not be buying, gives me a better chance ;) I am pretty amused that there have not been more comments on this post considering so many people told us that this was not true just 2 weeks ago! Good work guys on digging up the story waaaay before anyone else knew about it! Keep it up! Are you actually complaining akatsuki? This is a fantastic deal!

And Amazon won't have any problems selling off 1,000 of them inside of a minute. Besides, I'm guessing Amazon was able to do it, because it knows it'll make up the loss on accessories. It all balances out in the end and it's a fun contest that draws shoppers to the site. Well, I don’t have one, so $200 off is a good deal for me.

Even at $100. A Premium system at $200 would have been a much better promo. The Core system just isn’t that good of a deal really for anyone if you haven’t already got one xBox. Even at $100.
