i was going to post this but then i remembered that it was a Blu Ray Hot Deal forum...

of course, im just messing with you and am super stoked about the deal. I have my one-click settings primed and ready to order it the second it comes available. =D

BLU-RAY.com ... Get it?

[Nocturnx99]

yea i know it isnt a blu ray thing.. but i was hoping to maybe save some people from trying to fight in walmart getting one lol.
its also listed as 2 deals today, morning and one afternoon
ive got an elite... but im thinking of doing this on amazon as a backup

Wish this was a 360 elite deal

Other than Halo and Gears, what are the big games that are XBOX exclusive? I know of Left 4 Dead and Dead Rising. I know $100 is a good deal, but I'm trying to justify droppin the money for this inferior version of the console. I'm so happy with PS3 and already spent a lot of money on that

Looks like the gift card is good for anything on Amazon

Wow, in 3 minutes they were all claimed

Wow! Is it just me, since I was able to get in on one, or did they just sell out in like 5 minutes? Keeps showing 100% sold.

EDIT: I was typing when you posted above. Sweet. glad I got in on one. I mostly just want one for the living room to play occasional games maybe a little netflix without having to put that dang disc into the PS3 to get netflix.

I added mine to my cart immediately. Then I was reading through the thing to make sure the gift card had any limitations, then I came back here quickly to check and see if anyone had updates. When I clicked back, it said 100% claimed.

I was unsure if min still counted then, so I didn't order it. What did it say for you when you were in checkout?

Interestingly, it did not mention the gift card in the order. I will just deal with amazon if necessary. NOt worried with AMZ, things are always good.

Yeah same thing, this time I got an order in. It didn't say anything about the gift card again, so I'm gonna email Amazon and make sure that I got it

[signal12]

In the description, not that anybody had time to read it, but it says that it will be email within 7 days. I don't believe there will be a problem.

I hear if your order has the "$0.01 discount" from the gold box deal, you're good..

If you didn't get that 1 cent discount, you didn't get the $100 GC.

Just checked my order and it does say the Lightning Deal discount of $0.01. So that's a relief!


BUT, Amazon is retarded. I sent them an email saying that I wasn't sure if the promotion was applied to my order, and asked if they could please double check for me and let me know. This is the response I got back

I’m sorry to hear your order didn’t qualify for $100 Amazon.com Promotional Code at the time of placing this order.

We understand that this is a terrible customer experience and we’ve forwarded this information to our marketing team and they are working to correct this error. It'll take a bit more time than usual and I just wanted to let you know I’ll personally follow-up with this issue and write back in 2-3 business days with promotion details.

Rest assured that we're actively working to make this situation better. Thanks for giving me time to find the best solution

Lol wtf? I don't think they even read my email

[signal12]

Well, some can relax. My order did not show the .01 discount, or whatever, and I just received an email saying that I qualified for the $100 gift card. The email is quoted below:
