Sorry you missed the vote. I'm not sure what I think of it. I guess it will make people relax a bit more, though. Some people were going insane (looking at deals forums, Amazon.com's forums, etc.). Natural, I guess. Yeah, I noticed that. Sorry you missed the vote. I’m not sure what I think of it. I guess it will make people relax a bit more, though.

This time, 1000 random VOTERS will get a chance at the deal and you'll get a huge window to make your purchase. I missed the darn vote, but this system seems a little bit more fair.

Yeah, in these deals, it's gonna go out super fast, no matter what they do.<br /> <br /> And yeah, I didn't even see the buy now button on the Xbox one, either. The site just stopped loading. :) Ouch. Sorry man. Yeah, in these deals, it’s gonna go out super fast, no matter what they do.

I refreshed about once every 10 minutes. and 1 minute till and right on time. I saw the add to cart thingy, did that, and the page failed to load. Refreshed and saw they catpcha thing entered it and the page failed to load. Finally got through and they were all sold! In less that 45 seconds! <br /> <br /> Glad you got through Patrick. I still think amazon needs to update the system when they do stuff like this to give everyone a fair shot. I had at least 5 failed page loads during the process which obviously cost me time. I didn't even get to see the Xbox "buy now" button it was so busy. <br /> <br /> It was still fun to try and I'm glad someone I know actually got through!
