Seshan Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Nope not yet, but according to IRC there has been a couple thousand in sales already, I'm guessing people closest to the server are getting in. *Edit* Over $6,000 has been given away.

h3%5kr3w Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 It was even talked about (very briefly) on Tekzilla. I will be sitting at the computer waiting for the clock to hit 08:00. Damn.. And I was watching Tekzilla the other day (while I was cleaning :X) Oh well... Looks like I am going to have to special order that breadboard (and I still have a $10 radioshack gift card!) Besides a few shift registers and the breadboard (Can't find it in store in ANY damn radioshack down here) that was all I really wanted.

Seshan Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Well I almost made it, but I think it will time out on me. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seshan Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Woot! I got it! I just hope it didn't screw up and charge my paypal wrong. :| *Edit* not sure if I got it yet, it took me to paypal, did all that clicked continue and now it's timing out. *Edit* well they are at 100k, it was at 50k when I first got to the paypal page, I will try and finish the check out maybe it will still count. Beefed up servers my ass D: *Edit* nope didn't get it, that was a hour of my life wasted D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdole369 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I lost. Despite spending about 90 minutes refreshing, clicking, and trying from 3 diff point of presences. Most successful was my plain old office network - where I made it all the way through the order process and entered my CC info TWICE. and submitted my order twice. Timed out on that page. SO no freebies for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobdole369 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Aye I think I'm gonna get my order a few bits at a time, starting with teh arduino 2009 USB, next will probably be the oscope kit and then the STN graphic display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berger Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I ended up getting a FPGA kit and a ATMEGA128 board as well, some how I was able to get through, too the better part or 2 hrs (from getting stuff in my cart and logging in before hand). I did get my confirmation email... Its interesting to see the write up on their site of how much they got hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
