ACTIONpack Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I guess everyone knew about the $100 xbox 360. I sign on to amazon at 1:30 to wait for the 2:00 release for the xbox. When it was 1:59 everything f up. I could not get on to amazon. I had all 3 browsers on amazon just if any of them does not get on it. It took me 15 minutes just to get on to amazon homepage. When I got to the xbox 360 page it was sold out. The server was overload with people getting on the website. I'm so f-ing **** off about this. If a site is going to do this, it needs to be abe to handle the people try to get it on the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ji@nBing Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Well I sent them an email. I know nothing will come of it, but I just had to complain. I didn't ask them for anything, just told them there are a lot of ****ed off people and they should be better prepared in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have the servers to handle it. If they can't handle it then you could not be doing it. If we all complain about this then amazon will have to change the way they do business.

Tisk tisk...... Yeah, i expected that to happen... at 5 to i started to notice massive slowdowns on the refreshing so i felt that if there was even a slight chance of the page being loaded on time i'd need a few windows open. And yeah, im in canada too, but my sis lives in TX and she was gonna grab it for me. Oh wellz, i wasn't really expecting to get one. -edit- oh wait, nothing is ever good enough for you forum people :/ whats that supposed to mean?

Fugi Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 (edited) They will be getting a call from me, and I will be buying one for $100 They offer somthing and you don't get one so your going to demand it. Tbh I think your a little selfish immature kid =/. Grow up. Serously how are you goign to complain that you didn't get one. I mean walmart didn't even offer this deal WAHT THE **** WALLMART IM GONA CALL YOU AND YOU BET IM GOIGN TO DEMAND ONE FOR $100.00. Im sure that would go over well :rolleyes:. Quit complaining.... you were offered somthing and 1000 units were given out for $100.00. I am sure if was proven that thost 1,000 units were not shiped / no one achually got the deal then we would have somthign to bitch about but proably %30 of the u.s population was going for this deal... it's like bitching about not wining the lottery then you didn't pay for the ticket. You were offered a chance at a cheap xbox if you got one, great if not stop complaining. Edited November 23, 2006 by being-obtatyion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clide Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 If we all complain about this then amazon will have to change the way they do business. Right, we should all complain so they just give up on the idea of trying to give people great deals all together. After all, if I couldn't get one it is unfair that they offered the deal at all :rolleyes: Not getting a $100 360 didn't hurt anybody, you wouldn't even have the chance to get one if Amazon wasn't nice enough to offer the deal in the first place...I really don't see why people are angry at Amazon about it.

I'm upset I didn't get one, thats true. But I knew I would not get one in the first place. Now, If I went to amazon at 2pm to try to get one and click on the xbox360 to get it and it says sold out at this price then I would go on with my life. I'm really upset because I went on amazon before 2pm and when it was going to start the site was down. Which means that Amazon was not ready to sale it on there servers. In the free market of ideas they have the right to do that but we the people will not buy from them if they don't have th servers to handle it.

You put enough people on ANY server and its not gonna be good... don't expect them to even upgrade to offer somthing they didn't have to in the first place...

You got to understand that if amazon is going to do something like this then get everything ready but they did not do that. That's like if Best Buy was giving the PS3 but not having any of the front doors open. People would say why is it close and then when the doors do open it's sold out. People will complain because they could not get one and say it was a scam. Best Buy would reply, are back doors were open. If amazon can't keep the front doors open then they should not be doing this type of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
