Has anyone ordered from Amazon (Toy 'R' Us, really) and not gotten their product?

I was able to order one for KMart as well. If this one goes through I'll say goodbye to that stupid bundle! The original page went to "sold out" before I could finish checking out so who knows...

Next-gen console notification service live
CE Buys now taking registrants for service that notifies customers when Xbox 360s are in stock at online retailers.
Tired of refreshing Web sites to see if Xbox 360s are in stock? CE Buys, based out of Northern California, is letting those starved for the next-gen console get some fresh air. The company is now taking sign-ups for its Premium Alert Service, which notifies clients via e-mail or text message when online merchants have Xbox 360s in stock. The service will also let gamers know when sites begin taking preorders for the PlayStation 3 and Revolution. The service costs $39 for one year, or is free for the basic service, which has a several-hour delay.

I don't know how valid or helpful this website is, but it could be helpful.

You're much better off just using WebMon to monitor the pages for you because any web site could go out of stock in less than a minute. $39, or the free for the basic service which has a several-hour delay? Rip-Off.

Just wanted to help someone out by getting use out of what is in my cart, but having it sent/paid/emailed to them, not me.
It's still letting me get all the way to the finalize button, if anyone trusts me and wants to take a shot...

Now it's either the Amazon bundle or Best Buy...

Well, for what it's worth, my order is in!!! rocketsauce, if it comes through and you still need one at that time, you are second in line. BigDave has dibs if he wants it. He promises pics of his wife on his Disney trip if I can get him one.
Maybe if Kmart backs out, I can raise a stink and get something out of it.
I'm not gonna call. Just gonna let it ride.
