    you guys are damn sure making that they'll never ever ever make another promotion like this available again.

    those who are complaining are the ones who are hurting all of us for future deals.

    I just got off the phone with amazon CS and I shit you not, she admitted to me that on the second round they only had a 100 XBoxes at the $100 price. I had her repeat that and she confirmed that she was told by her manager that they only had 100 for the 12PM offer. I am really pissed now, that is completely unacceptable and I have lost a lot of faith in amazon as being one of the better companies to deal with. I hope someone else out there will call and see if they get the same response to confirm what she told me...
    She told you that to cam you down I guess. They have no idea about inventory. Also just consider the fact that how many people in SD itself got in the 2nd round. If it as truly 100, do you think that would have been possible considering the whole N.America ?

    Well, we shouldn't have all depended on Amazon then. Walmart's deal was just as good and most places didn't even have lines until close to open. Not to mention their online deal was available a lot more than Amazon's. And cheaper with Bing

    Pretty sure that 99% of us have the right to complain. If it says $199.98 in your cart, them mysteriously changes to the regular price of $199.99 seconds later, that is false advertising and just unacceptable. We should have at least been informed that we didn't get in on the deal. If so, then I wouldn't be complaining right now.

    good luck on getting one of a hundred in the future, I'll pass on any BS promotion like that.

    I still wonder how they would react to me returning the Xbox after 2 weeks, unopened. Would they ban my amazon account? Would they just refund me 100 $ ? Anyone try something similar in the past?
    they should just refund you

    I wasn't upset and I also made the point that Walmart wasn't selling half an XBox at each location for this promotion. I am just passing along what she said, that is why I was hoping others could confirm. I seriously checked out in less than 5 seconds so they definitely did not have the amount allocated to this as they should have.

    I'm in the same boat as others here with the disappearing $100 gift credit from my order. I got the same BS from Amazon Customer Support.

    I'm considering disputing $100 of the charge with my credit card. Does anyone think Amazon would ban my account for that?

    It couldn't be good for that or your credit score

    Your CC company would probably ask you why you don't return it for a refund and you would lose anyway.

    I called 2 hours ago and actually got a completely different answer: the guy I spoke with said they were aware of the "issue" and will be emailing everyone by Monday if they qualify for the credit. Sounds like my guy doesn't know what he's talking about - either that or he knows something we don't.

    I think they know that all of these emails are going out on Monday telling everyone they are SOL. I think the girl I spoke too regretted saying that there were only a hundred units available, she used the analogy of lottery balls and only so many people got them in the first few seconds when I told her that I had finalized the order in less than five seconds. That is when I asked how many units were available and she slipped and told me that there were only 100 for the second part of the promotion...

    Well, Amazon's tps averages about 5000. For lightning deal you can multiply that by the factor of "hotness" of the product I guess. For the sake of argument, even if I take Amazon processed 1000 tps for today's lightning deal, the laptop sold out in about 7-10 secs, which fits the number of 10k+/-

    In both the offerings of Xbox 360, it lasted for about 90 sec+, which leads to 90,000 to 100,000 Xboxes minimum. How much did Wally world have again ?

    I'm tired of waiting only to probably be disappointed - I'm going to call again now. I'll let you know what I find out this time.

    I told Amazon my UPS is an angry guy. If I refuse shipment he'll probably end up trashing the 360 so lets hope I get my $100 gift card.
    Oh yeah right- The UPS guy destroying your Xbox 360 is really going to motivate Amazon to refund you or give you a $100 credit? Plus the guy can lose his job. With posts like this, there seriously needs to be an IQ test to allow internet access.
