Happy Thanksgiving and Damn You Amazon Customers!

Hap­py Turkey Day! It’s been one hec­tic day already. I don’t know if you have heard about Amazon.com’s new gig, Cus­tomers Vote, but I heard it first from Ryan ear­li­er this week. He not­ed it because of the Xbox 360 deal for only a low-down-and-dirty $100 (core sys­tem). That’s about a $200+ sav­ing from its MSRP.

Any­ways, it was one excit­ing and dis­ap­point­ing morn­ing at the same time. Not only was the deal adver­tised on Amazon.com’s home­page, but it was every­where! I mean every­where as in: radio, vlogs, blogs and maybe even on TV. There were only 1,000 units for the deal, and that ain’t a lot. In terms of inter­net-store for a deal this great, that’s less than a sec­ond or two in terms of the deal’s life­time.

Any­ways, enough of my stats talk. I guess the rea­son why I was so upset in not get­ting one (oth­er than I can make a quick $200 or more on ebay if I sell it) is that I got a new toy. I was hop­ing to use the mon­ey from the Xbox to feed this new crack, or at least make it free for me so I would­n’t feel bad about spend­ing some mon­ey on “non­sense” items. Then again, it is from Cost­co.
