Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
I just remembered to try GG S4 at 12:40 and it does say that it's Sold Out and the Wait List is full. Which is possible. Sometimes certain LD can have thousands of people interested in them. But I didn't check before then, so maybe there was something else going on that I didn't see? Idk. sorry.

Re: Black Friday 2011 - The DVD thread
I'm annoyed that I got up just to find out it went live before it's alloted time and for more than they said. Was it the same for Bruno, Hot Tub Time Machine, etc. because all those deals have a join waitlist as well and I don't think they all be claimed a half hour after the deal starts?

The Gossip Girl thing is irking me at the moment too. I actually set my alarm to get up to grab this deal. It was gone in a freaking instant. I'm on the waitlist but am doubtful that I'll get it. I might just grab it from one of the Marketplace sellers for $21 and change.

I was up when they started and they all started on time. I got GG S4 but was charged $12.99 instead of the $7.99 shown on the deal calendar. GG S4 sold out in a couple minutes btw.

I did see the countdown and was on it as soon as it started. When the deal first went up, it was $7.99. By the time I finally got somewhere on the page, it was $12.99 and waitlisted. There are quite a few complaints on the Amazon forums about this whole issue. So, it's not just us.

On the bright side, it'll be $7.99 (or less) next year.
I can wait.

Use the Black Friday Deals are Here link on the upper left of any page (or the one I put on the name) to get to them. S4 is already on "waitlist" status...

Gossip Girl 4 officially sold out, just got a pop up. Screw it, just canceled 1-3, and will just wait for a complete series down the road.

I caved and ordered it from a Marketplace seller. At least now I can say I woke up at 3:30 in the morning and got something out of it. And now, I'm back off to bed.

I just live chatted with amazon and the lady said it's being rescheduled . She was unsure of the time but said it should be in a couple of hours and they'll reupdate the schedule.

For me... Gossip Girl S4 went live at the exact time it was supposed to and it started out at $12.99.. I ordered it anyway as that is a good deal on that new release even if I couldn't get an adjustment ... I chatted with Amazon and was able to get a $5 credit to offset the $12.99 I paid for it... so in the end it was $7.99...

Got home about an hour ago.
(it's 4:14am here)
Man, I'm tired.
Took home a nice load.
Wal-Mart:
24: S8 (ten bucks, awesome deal), The A-Team, Clash Of The Titans, Devil and The Time Traveler's Wife. I saw no copies of "Easy A". Oh well.
Target:
Pretty Little Liars: S1 and Psych: S1.
If I can, I'm going to go to a different Wal-Mart; pick up that flash card memory and stuff.

Well, that was weird. According to the Amazon BF schedule, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 was supposed to be $6.99 from 4:30am to 8:30am PST (7:30am to 11:30am EST), I went there to buy it and it was still listed for $13.99 in my cart. Went to the BF front page that's posted on page 3 (Post #52), clicked on the link for Deathly Hallows (for $6.99), and it says it's a "Lightning Deal" price that expires in 13 and ½ minutes???
Oh well, I got it for $6.99 anyway. -kd5-

i wish amazon would send out spies to the store, who could report these prices back and they would PM them. Would love Pretty liars at 12.99 but i fear for my life in those piranha pits in-store.
