I loaded the page when my clock said 3pm. R&C wasn't up yet. I went back to my document. Came back in two minutes. All gone. Geez. Did they have like twenty copies?

This sale is just really well publicized amongst the deal seekers. And $30 for a high quality rehash is a solid price.

I was able to get a copy of Ratchet & Clank for $29.99 (in the first minute). Thanks for the heads up!

This just teaches me that the small amount of work I actually do per day is far too much.

So for the Lightning deals, once you add it to your cart, you're good until the end of the day?

Yep, I still have the wheel and R&C in my cart. I'm waiting to see the prices on the other items until I place my order.

Uncharted $29.99.....gogogogogog!

Quake1028 08-27-08 04:01 PM

Awesome, Amazon is taking a crap on me and won't let me add it.

mattysemo247 08-27-08 04:02 PM

Great price for Uncharted

aktick 08-27-08 04:06 PM

The "Add to Cart" icon never showed up for me. :(

When I refresh it says "claimed"...but it's not in my cart of course...boooo.

Yeah, every time I try add it to my cart it hangs up for a good minute or so then bumps me to the closed Ratchet and Clank deal. Oh well.

Quake1028 08-27-08 04:09 PM

I saw the deal pop up and still can't get one to add to cart 9 minutes later, on 2 different browsers.

Quake1028 08-27-08 04:10 PM

Fuck Amazon if their servers can't even handle this level of demand. Inexcusable.

Same here!

Uncharted would've been my first game for the PS3 if Amazon didn't suck so bad. Screw them.

ultimaton 08-27-08 04:17 PM

Now I'm getting "Unable to process this request, try again later" messages.

aktick 08-27-08 04:20 PM

OK, somehow I got it to work, here's what I did:

Go to the game page for Uncharted - http://www.amazon.com/Uncharted-Drak...=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Then there should be a link below where you can add both Uncharted AND Assassin's Creed to your cart - there was for me - hit that to add them both. Go to checkout. Remove Assassin's Creed from your cart. Uncharted is (was for me) now $29.99.

Dumb luck I suppose.

Quake1028 08-27-08 04:22 PM

Now the whole deal system is down :lol:.

Quake1028 08-27-08 04:23 PM

Didn't work for me :(.

Bummer. No idea why it worked the way it did for me.

Quake1028 08-27-08 04:27 PM

Apparently Amazon doesn't want my $30. Ah well, I'm sure Ratchet and Uncharted will be Greatest Hits in due time anyway.

Well, I may try that trick when the gold box comes back online. Can't expect it to have a chance of working when gold box isn't around at the present time.

Thanks for the tip, though.

Worked for me, thanks! :rock:

sauce07 08-27-08 04:55 PM

it had Assassin's Creed marked down to $23.99 on mine and Uncharted at $55. oh well

Quake1028 08-27-08 05:06 PM

Fuck Amazon. It can't be down for everyone for all of that time and then be all magically claimed when it comes back up.
