You snooze, you lose! Despite setting up 1-click shopping, storing my credit card info, and hitting refresh a billion times I now count myself among the thousands, perhaps millions of people that rushed Amazon.com's $100 Xbox 360 sale and was refused -- the sale was pretty much over before it even started. A more 1000 lucky snipers were able to save $200 off the core system, making it the lowest priced next-gen system sale ever made. Other retailers have jumped on the 360 discount bandwagon and you may see core systems as low as $200 in select stores. If Sony is reportedly losing $300 on each console and Microsoft is making $76 on theirs, logic would dictate that the big M may apply the pressure and permanently drop prices soon to slaughter PS3 sales. Elsewhere, Nintendo is sitting pretty at $250 counting their money...

As if Amazon didn't do it for their own benefit.
Shoulda just been a lottery. Everyone in, draw 1000, thanks for playing. Otherwise it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
