I hit add to cart on the Owl Ship as soon as it came up, and it sat there for a minute "Checking Deal Status", but I got one!

Picked up Alice and Watchman even though I already own the blu-rays.

That was odd having to wait a minute or so even after hitting the button the moment it came up. Got my Watchman ship! Yeah!! They went fast.

Got mine too. By the time I finished checkout, they were all claimed, so I guess they sold out in less than 2 minutes.

That went smoother than I expected. But I didn't check out right away. So Alice is due to arrive 12/18, and Watchmen 12/22. Still both by Christmas, so I'm happy!

I just happened to come inside from shoveling snow, when there was 4 seconds left. Grabbed a Watchmen, no problems. I had a little Amazon credit so it only ended up being like 2.50, so I said what the heck, I'll upgrade my dvd.

Clicked on Nite Owl as soon as it popped up, it spent 20 seconds in "Checking Deal Status", then put me at No. 20 on the wait list.

Are you on dial-up? That seems odd... I am curious how many of each they have. Surely they can't have a ton of these things, and they must be losing money on them even if the distributor cut them a deal...

I hit the lightning deal, but the Scrubs set that had just expired was still up. Had to scroll all the way over to the Watchmen offer. Suprised I was still able to get one.

Wow, that was fast! Got Watchmen and Alice In Wonderland. I guess Batman Batpod gets no love here.
We know for a fact Alice couldn't have had more than 3500, since they are a numbered set. The question is, did they sell out their entire stock or just put a few on for the deal?

WTF at exactly 9:30 hit the add to cart button on watchmen when it said 88% claimed and it said im on the wait list, so i quickly jumped on the bat pod and bought that since i dont have it on blu.

These deals aren't about making money. It's about getting traffic to the site in the hopes you'll buy more.

Got Alice and Watchmen, as planned. I was getting nervous when it was on "checking deal status" for 15 or 20 seconds after clicking Watchmen, but it went through and there was no delay after clicking Alice.
