  1. The $229 iPod with $50 GC is also offered at Toys R Us.  Beware this is a lesser version of the original 5G iPod as it is missing the back camera and the wrist-strap (not important)  If your son was expecting a color other than gray, or the camera, this will not be what you are looking for.

  2. Things go crazy fast on the fry's site and people in Houston are so fanatical about Fry's I dare not even try to get in line for one. I will keep my eye on it tonight since they might release some more for online sales at midnight. From what I found out they sold out in 20 minutes or so last night (this morning).

     

    I bought the $300 laptop they had a couple months back but it will cost me about $60 in upgrades to get it close to the same specs as this one and it has Windows Vista (eck).

    Sure enough they posted more at midnight but I still missed it because Frys.com is toooo slow.:mad:

  3. I just saw it, but its already sold out. :-( Fry's site is soooo slow right now.

  4. I went to OD yesterday when they opened to purchase the $99 HP BTO desktop (really $199 with shipping) and I got caught by the system issue (CST timezone). I was told to come back yesterday afternoon to place the order since things would be calmed down. When I returned they said the whole corporate system was down and to come back in the morning.

     

    When I called today they said that they were sold out. SOLD OUT?!, it is build to order; maybe HP cut the deal short after all. I spoke with the manager and I was very polite while explaining my story. He said that he would work a deal for me an another bundle if I would like so I settled on the next cheapest, the $299 emachine. BTW, this package had much better specs. He gave me $50 off to make it $250 AR + tax versus the original deal of $200 (w/ship) AR + tax. Needless to say, I am very pleased with how they handled the situation. They know how to make their customers happy.

     

    I write this to let people know that some of the sob stories of yesterday do have happy endings and also to make people think twice about the OD boycott <putting flame suit on>. Of all the other stores, I have had this kind of "customer first" treatment at only CC and OD.
