Congrats on winning! Now if I could only "win" a Z4...Originally posted by: wayno
Woot!
Spammed the "I want it" button on two comps at 12, 4 and 9 and I got one of the Zen Media Players. It ended up being $220 after tax and shipping but it is still a bargain.
Bottom line is it is a lottery, you gotta be in it to win it.

Google for reviews on the Zen. It sucks. I was so excited before that 9pm ET window but after reading a couple of reviews, I didn't really know if I wanted to even buy it. Google for the reviews.
Basically the Zen will have to down-convert all video and photos to a QVGA size (300somethingx300something). Fine for viewing on it but not when you try to view it on a large screen TV or plasma. What's the point of storing your videos and photos when you can't share them with friends and families?
Also, will not play most MPEG4 formats. Anything that can't be played in WMP 10 cannot be played on the Zen. So where does that leave us? A bulky 20GB mp3 player with a color screen. For $200....eh....maybe...just because I want to play around with these new PMP devices. Then again, I'd wait for the PSP to come out. Should be able to get it for around $250 when it comes out.
As for the panasonic cam, it looks cool, and at $150, it's a nice buy if you get it. But, recording movies on it is a gimmick at best and it has so so resolution/capabilities as a digicam. It's pretty much a toy or gift.
I might try to get the $50 cooking set though. And besides the Z4s, the rest are junk to me (not a big sports fan).

an FWer found out how to hack the game.
He did a packet capture on the destination host then analyzed the http requests. He found the link to get the item as well as a list of the IDs for all of the items on the Amex offer. He posted the link to today's deal on FW and a ton of ppl got in on it. They were able to use that link to buy the camera ahead of time. Man!
Of course, I missed that so I did my own packet capturing. Amex fixed the flaw. Now the xml files are nowhere to be found (Amex probably changed the item IDs anyway) and a referrer link is implemented (you have to get to the item order form from the mywishlist.com flash page).
So...back to clicking
