Dell Venue Pro 8 - $99 Doorbuster, $199 Online December 9th

[Citizen X]

I went to the Tysons corner mall at 8AM and was 40th. found out people were waiting since 12AM!!!

WTF?! I got to my mall at about 06:30 am. Single digit line. Earliest person was 05:30 I think.

Yeah I'm not getting it for $100

Went to Austin store more than an hour early to see if there was a line. There was a line all the way to Macy's in the freezing rain. I value my time better than that and I wasn't going to get up at 3:00 AM and sit there for 6 or 7 hours, so I went to work instead.

That's a bummer. At a lot of places, you could show up just two hours early and still get a $99 one.

Um... yeah. You can earn $100 pretty easily by just working 6 or 7 hours. Some people can earn it an hour. Sitting in the freezing rain for 6 or 7 hours and getting pneumonia is not worth it to save $100 or $179.

That's impossible. We were told that only happens to healthcare.gov.

Store wasn't set up to handle this kind of traffic. They know it will crash at times like this. But they're not going to change the infrastructure to support 10,000x more simultaneous people just because of a few special deals.

And yeah... I know you were joking. I just had to post something because it took me 30 minutes on that online store to get mine. lol

Back up to $299 on the online store, deal over.

Sucks that I couldn't go. My gf went for me at the millenia mall store and ended up being 25th in line at 8:10

I will push an old lady down to get that deal. Wait. Is that on or off contract?

I think she just told you she went, unless your girlfriend was some stubbly dude with glasses studying a college textbook (#25 in front of me). #27&#28 were some married couple discussing LEGO power miner toys behind me, presumably for their kid.

Probably over at her other man's place.

With that sir.....you just got the biggest laugh of the day. I went to a MS store in a mall in northern VA, got there around 715 and was like damn. The store was already open taking care of the door buster winners with about 15 people already in the store. I was about the 26/27 person in line but some of those people had been in the mall since 6am. As a consolidation prize, the rest of use got free water and t-shirts for staying in line. I wish I knew the mall opened that early.

Interwebs my friend. A lot of malls open their doors early for "mall walkers." They are old people who like to walk inside so they don't get pneumonia or break a hip slipping around on ice outside. I was banking on people not factoring that into the equation.

 

[rudrAgni]

The deal is back on the microsoft store. I just bought it for $199. Buy it before it gets sold out again!

 

[thoughthalo]

Same here. Just bought it. Don't miss it!!

Short Hispanic female. She was there, she entered in a gift card raffle and all. Although she could have lied about what place in line. Either way she didn't get there in time.
