Playstation 2 at Amazon

[flot]

Julio - no man I hit refresh, read the screen, hit refresh again, "and like that.. it was gone."

stupid stupid stupid.. but then again I didn't want to wait 1-2 weeks either, that's what threw me off. I assumed these things would be shipping instantly, since they've apparently got 30,000 people clicking on the link nonstop the least they could do would be to provide some instant gratification. hehehe

 

[emonkey]

I dont see how anyone got through. mine keeps giving the same thing. out of stock. no cart or anything...

 

[Autolycus]

heheheh.....i added to cart then it said the cost would be $0.00 for the action bundle but already learning not to click refresh i bought it and it totaled it to the right price and will ship 1-2 weeks....i wanted another for some one i know, but not enough money in my account

and now the sites swamped

 

[juiio]

I'm trying to go check the status of my order jsut to be sure, but I can't even connect ot the main page any more.

 

[crazydave]

i've also been refreshing every 10 sec.... haven't seen anything except out of stock for all 3 bundles.... =(

 

[namlook]

I'm having no problems connecting to amazon right now. main, page, my order page, everything is working for me.

I only saw one of the bundles (the sports pack) become available and I was refreshing too. The other two seemed to say out of stock on every resfresh but I guess people got in on those too.

 

[DVDBob]

I was able to get the Family pack, but as soon as I got to the confimation page and refreshed, they were all listed as out of stock. Got my confirm email, but it says "publisher out of stock." I guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

[Heifetz]

Dude...this PS2 thing is deadly. Yesterday when the buy.com deal was on, both anandtech bbs and Buy.com was down or really slow for about 30 minutes. Now, amazon is getting hammered. Jesus....time to buy some of sony's stock!!!

[scoreadeal]

Oh great, now they took the URL down...

The file you requested could not be found...

Was refreshing, refreshing, refreshing, then pages couldn't load anymore... Too high of a load!

 

[Maverick215]

Wonder if they are going to send out any vaseline?

 

[scoreadeal]

No kidding... look, $2,225 on eGay!

Item 477462205

 

[awrmplace]

I dont understand, I was up last night constanly refreshing, and I did the same here and I never not once saw a buy
why....

 

[Heifetz]

Haha...no way that PS2 is going for $2000. The bidder is obviously not going to carry through with his bid.

[Rorschach]

I just kept hitting refresh and it finally gave me a one-click button. I hit and was out like a bandit. Now the only problem is that I charged it to a credit card I don't have any more and to an address I don't live at any more!! argghh! Does anyone know the Amazon service phone # offhand?

 

[stonerdave]

I dunno, I was looking at the action pack, never saw the checkout thing...then I went to the family pack and it was in (for a sec). Oh well, you lose some and win some. Actaully, order went thru, and said this...

[cynicalfork]

So do you guys think those of us lucky enough to get an order in and it says "publisher out of stock" in the confirmation email will actuall get one?

 

[baoytl]

rorschach, go to your account on the top right corner.. you can change your info there

 

[neonitto]

has anyone with one-click purchase gotten their confirmation email yet?

I go the family pack through one-click but no email...

 

[iwearnosox]

Ugh. Does anyone have amazons phone #? I need to call them but can't find it on their site.

 

[Nightmare]

Yeah...look at the high bidders on almost all the ps/2 auctions...there all (0) with sunglasses...some punks having a good time.

--Nightmare

P.S. I ordered one of the bundles (sports--didn't have time to look)...out of stock status like the rest (discovered at 11:57pst)

 

[scoreadeal]

I think the odds of being able to buy one are about the same as winning their giveaway contest.

 

[Blindman]

me too i need to call them too

i got one the family pack
i did have the sports pack as well buy i removed it so some other soul can have it. My act of good faith for the day.

 

[Cimbom]

i can not even get to amazon main site
wtf!!

 

[juiio]

To the person that used the wrong credit card and address: If you go the order summary page, you can still edit the shipping and billing info, even for orders that are already placed.

 

[Hankysmoo]

Dang, I just called amazon and they are definitely out of stock already.... that was like 1min!!!!
