Dreamcast @ Amazon.com ***** DEAD *****

[bonk102]

Ok, to those who order 25, you kill the deal for the rest of us, you suck, i hope you die, i hope you die a horrible death, me and my roomate have wanted a dreamcast for awhile and now we have a chance to get one cheap, if you screw us over on this, i will be very very very upset, g'night all

 

[dealmaker]

dude bonk, that is not cool wishing someone to die. Dude, chill, we are just having fun. Granted it sucks people buy 25 of them but in reality do you think we really will get it? Don't worry my friend. Eventually you'll get a Dreamcast. I am sure they will be 50 bucks used pretty soon. Come one fellow anandtechers!

I just called Amazon CSR, she patched me through to Jeff, man is Jeff pissed!!! He gonna sue anand and this website for spreading this "hot deal"
BTW, he thanks me and gave me unlimited non-exp. Amazon GC...

 

[ericlp]

I wonder if that was before or after we all called the Sales Reps of this really really really bad Mistake....

I guess we can all die...

WhoooHooo!!! I wonder what happens if he actually get's one???

Oh well..

 

[RichieZ]

I best get my dreamcast!

PS: I got it for free too! had $15 from vivdence and a $5 promo! BUt then, I already paid $99 for a dreamcast and shunmue on this FS board, an extra one can't hurt, and if i don't get it oh well. HEHE

 

[dealmaker]

hell the sales reps are ordering 100's as well. They just quit their jobs!

Spend 70$ more to get a DREAMCAST for sure.. from TWEC and use the 20% off coupon floating around.. 83.99 total!shipped!!
Heck...they even accept those stupid ECHO internet cash awards that were so easy to get in the fall..

[Tranceformers]

what is the csr number?

 

[dealmaker]

my local video store was selling used one for 63 dollars. Pretty darn cheap if you ask me.

 

[cejay]

Tranceformers.. NO one is calling the CSR's..
They are kidding.. anyone who would ALERT a CSR to this
typo and screw ALL of us getting in on this deal tonite would
be crazy..

I have gotten a price typo before..
'The Insiders' DVD for 2.40 (shipping only) price was marked .00
and they honored it..
But what WORRIES me is that even in my confirmation email this item
says 'CDROM'.. hmm..

[Tranceformers]

i was kidding too, cant you take a joke? no sense of humour.

Well, I hope that who ever orderd 5+ will have a nice FAT charge on the visa bill!!! When they get 10 Dream Cast Test CD's!

Yeah!!! BURN Baby!!!

Hahaha

 

[dealmaker]

well those that are ordering more than one might as well alert the CSR's. And a dreamcast is a little different than a CD or DVD. Don't get too excite guys. I doubt this will go through.


P.S. United only had 143 ticket sold at 25 bucks a pop. Plus the planes are flying there anyways.

 

[cpumaster]

I was worried this is not the real console, but somekind of CD-rom with promo about the console (that'd scr*w me for sure), so I try to trace this deal...
start with Amazon webpage, went to comp & vid. game, then to game hardware, and wham! there it's Sega console in Top10 list at no. 1 (after tonight it'll be all-time, all-category no.1)...so I guess this is kinda legit?
hope amazon will honor this ....

 

[habib89]

yah cj.. that confused me too... but oh well.. if it turns out to be a cd rom, just send it back... or reject the package.. if it looks like a tiny package, reject it.. if it looks like the number of consoles you ordered, accept it

 

[aCiDReflux]

yeah got mine in. now lets all go pray

 

[ericlp]

Well, I wouldn't have gone for the deal if it didn't say USED ones for 79.00! I highly doubt a USED CD could cost that much! Buy, Why buy used when you can buy BRAND NEW for 10 Bucks????????

Yeah!

 

[glutius]

Mr Bezos just placed a large sell order of AMZN stock tonite!

hehehehe! this is gonna be on yahoo finance tomorrow!

It's # 1 on Amazon's Top Sellers List

[bonk102]

ok, i was just being a bit oversensitive, because it is pretty late, i dont hope they die, i just hope that the console's don't come in for them, let's all hope on this one though

I wonder if Unreal will come out for the Dream Cast. They got it for the crappy play station. I almost bought one when I heard that game came out for PS2...

 

[raymondb]

It was # 3 when I first saw the error.

 

[UNCjigga]

Holy crap my 2 Dreamcasts just arrived cuz I paid extra for the Super-Late-Night-Santa-in-the- Off-Season Shipping! Amazon r0x0rz!! I'm gonna borrow my hallmate's Phantasy Star online and start building my character!! Thanks raymondb...YOU DA MAN!
