Fuck man, I have terrible luck when it comes to getting any of the lightning deals on Amazon. I'm always put on the damn wait list. :(

Try multiple browsers. I have the same pages up on IE, FireFox and Chrome and IE is 2 seconds ahead for some reason when the countdown happens.
 
I fell asleep for like 20 mins and everything IS GONE. Fuck Amazon.
 
Gamestop.com is getting hammered. You can use the mobile site though to get what you want. I want a gold controller but I don't think the money is going to be deposited into my account on time, damn it!

Funny thing is that I was like #324 something on the wait list for Fall of Cybertron, kept constantly checking it...nothing. I decided to check it a minute ago and was alerted I could add it to my cart! Fuck yes! Got in on the $25 deal. :D :D
 
The people over at slickdeals seem to think this is a killer deal on a projector. i don't know much about them myself.

It is, but it's 720p. I'm looking for a 1080p projector, hopefully with 3D.

The JVC RS40 (B-stock) is on sale for $1400, but it has bulb issues and the bulbs are over a third of the projectors cost. It's mind boggling that a tiny little bulb could cost $500. Bulbs from other manufacturers (Epson, Sony, etc) are half of that.

wow at that panasonic vierra.

that went fast

It wasn't even that great of a deal. People are jumping on every single lightning deal as if they were black friday door busters.
 
Walmart worked out very well for the third consecutive year. The lines for Best Buy and Target were crazy. People really do like getting a good deal on a TV.

Now I'm wondering how many people out there are playing around with the lightening deals just to see if they can get them in the cart in time. Youe situation means that over 300 people added it and just let it go.

I have the panny tv in my cart just for the hell of it. It's kind of a fun competition at this point. I'm bored.
 
Just went to Walmart.

What a cesspool of *#*#&@*@#*. The video game section was being handled by one guy who has key to the locked cabinet. The line wrapped around multiple sections and each person gets to ask the guy what he wants and he grabs it from the cabinet and hands it to you.

Here's hoping Amazon or Best Buy matches some of the prices.

What's the likelihood of BB's Toshiba TV being available online come 12 PST?

That was the same exact experience I had last year. I went to Best Buy right at opening and was in and out in 20 minutes. Then drove over to Walmart, and it as like the fucking apocalypse. The line was just wrapping around the video game desk, like 2-3 people deep. You could barely even get close enough to the cabinets to see the games. I took one look at that and left.
 
Damnit Amazon fix this!!!. I missed out on all the tv lightning deals since it sold out almost instantly and it takes IE almost 10 seconds after the time to even display the button to try and obtain these items. I at least made the wait list for the Nano, but I'm going to be extremely pissed if I don't get it.
 
Someone else said that bots get in faster than your browser can even load the button. Mere mortals don't have a chance.

What a crock of shit. It just let me load the shitty laptop I don't even want instead of the TV I do want. If they are so lazy that they are letting bots control who can buy shit, they shouldn't even have these bullshit deals. I wish there was a way to contact Amazon and complain.
 
Just got back from Target. Not bad at all, picked up Prometheus for 10 bucks on blu ray, walking dead season 2 for 20, found a remote control car for my nephew.

They had an entire pallet of the assassins creed vita bundles and a pallet of Wii U's. lots of the bigger ticket items were still there.
 
Just picked up Arkham Asylum GOTY edition for $10, Planet Earth for $18, and Halo 4 with a $20 amazon gift card for the regular price, so effectively $40.

That Xbox 360 holiday bundle is $50 more expensive than Best Buy sold it for last night.
 
Anyone know if there will be any PS3 bundles on Cyber Monday? My son wants one.

Is there a cyber monday thread or is this the catch all?
 
Just wondering, is it possible to return at Walmart? Got dishonored on ps3 and I was just picking it up to make sure I got it. GameStop has a great deal on it and I want the 360 version more..

Thanks.

Knowing Walmart they'll return it for the full price.
As long as you have the receipt you should be okay.

Yea, I did this last year with a black friday basketball hoop. It was 50-70 bucks black friday. I didn't have the receipt and didn't know they gave me full price $119 or so back i didn't know until I went to use the instore credit they gave me.

Sweet man, let us know how you like it. I have one coming in the mail. Does it come with Motorstorm?
 
I went to a few Walmarts tonight looking for those $10 & $15 games. I arrived a bit before 8pm at the first store and I didn't see a single one. They had a few of the $25 deals left, so I grabbed a couple. Then I talked to a guy at another store who was there when they brought the games out, apparently people were just grabbing as many copies as they could of everything.

Fucking resellers.

And people really need to leave their young kids at home. At the first store, everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves despite the crowd. But the second was hell; people cussing one another, cops shouting, kids crying, bleh.
