[msdmoney]

Doh you beat me to it. Works great on consoles, I haven't checked availability though.

[MadFlava]

Is this just on consoles. Can I pick up two $49.99 games for $50 bucks. Also, it should work on Gamecube also right?

[coolsteel]

Damn SP is out of stock

[Sofa King Cheap]

"The code you have entered does not apply to this order"

Had $180 worth in my cart.

[wubb]

That site has some CRAZY shipping costs $8 S&H for Midnight Club II. (Didn't actually try the code out for myself.)

[coolsteel]

Damn SP is out of stock

[godzilla123]

Xbox out of stock too. WTF!!!

[maxgle]

thanks for the deal, my brother want a SP so much, but he said its all out when he order just few minutes ago

[waxHead]

goddamn I hate Fatwallet, I have no doubt that's the reason it's dead already.

[peteyrose]

ShopNBC has crap selection for games.

[waxHead]

Xbox out of stock too. WTF!!!

maybe we should dub it the Fatwallet Effect.

Fatwallet Effect - Causes instantaneous disappearance of previously available deals, directly related to the fatwallet.com website postings.

[maxgle]

my brother called in and confirmed, the sale is valid

[organicow]

dammit! they don't have XB consoles!! argh! I really would have loved to buy one for 129.00!

BOOOO!!!!

[msdmoney]

Damn, not 30 minutes ago the SP was still available. Should work on everything else as well if its still in stock. Definitely the FW effect, I am willing to bet there were peopl ordering many multiples of copies.

[waxHead]

Definitely the FW effect, I am willing to bet there were peopl ordering many multiples of copies.

I'm counting the minutes until brand new cobalt GB SPs show up on eBay starting at $49.99.

[jshorr]

They have PS2 for 129.00 :)

The coupon code did work....but I think I'm going to pass anyway.

[coolsteel]

I'm going to have to pass, shipping almost kills the order i'm considering.

[Diiz]

Damn...my gf had just decided today that she wanted a GBASP...that would have been perfect...

[jshorr]

You know I think this might be only for items that cost over 99 each? I tried adding two games and it didn't work.

[coolsteel]

I thought that as well but adding two boxsets got the coupon to work, so nope play around with combinations

[jshorr]

Maybe video game software is excluded?

[coolsteel]

Looks to be that way, I can't get it to work with games either

[organicow]

games aren't rockin for me either. damn.

[guessed]

I'm going to have to pass, shipping almost kills the order i'm considering.

If you aren't in GA, KY, MN, or MO, you don't have to pay sales tax. For me, that outweighed the shipping charge.

I was able to be strong and not get a PS2 during the KB 20% off deal, but this one broke me. I am finally replacing my PS2!

Did anyone else notice that shipping on the PS2 is $12.95, but shipping on the PS2 with network adaptor is only $9.95?

I ordered the network version, not because of the cheaper shipping, but because I figured it was more likely to be the latest revision (I may be wrong in thinking that). Anyhow, I already have a brand new network adaptor, so I will be selling that soon.

[Diiz]

Damn, too bad this place doesn't seem to sell Steel Battalion...

[amped]

Promo code worked fine with the dvd player I bought.

It can only be used once though.

[rocky76]

I was able to load SP... but out of stock.. arg..

[neopolss]

man, I just emptied my account out on games, where's my backup credit card? *looks around*

[Diiz]

man, I just emptied my account out on games, where's my backup credit card? *looks around*

You got games to work?

[Yeahman]

I'm shopping for games and keep running into server too busy messages.

Damn you Fat Wallet!!

Anyone have any opinions on Hack? You can get all four for $80.

[dragonzknight]

I was able to load SP... but out of stock.. arg..
same here, double arg....

edit: i tried opening multiple windows with quick buy and was able to get one through, and now i just confirmed a purchase a cobalt sp for 58.94 shipped...so all i can say is keep trying :shock:

[pinoy530]

Dang it, as I was filling in my shop nbc info, they sold out of the ps2s w/ the NA.

do you have the quick buy link for it?

[meteors]

The coupon (I believe) only works on a single item priced $99.99 or above, thus ruling out almost all games.

You can get packages though, ie. the Friends DVD 1-4 season is priced at 100 or so.

[TauTet 629]

I just bought a PS2 w/ Network Adapter for $159. Keep checking back. PS2 and PS2 w/ Network Adapter are in stock at the moment.

[meteors]

Ooooo the ShopNBC.com website has been OWNED. I keep getting "server overloaded" messages....

[dragonzknight]

you have to set up an account first and then under the sp there's a quick buy link and an add to cart link. just open multiple windows like in mozilla or netscape and then when one of them is in your cart, do the same thing with adding the promotion, and checking out. im trying to get the link now, but the nbc site is laggin out...

[Diiz]

I created an account, but those links arent there since the item is out of stock...Gotta go to work now, but I guess I'll check back tonight...

[meteors]

Their website is getting hammered so hard, I bet they're going to cancel these orders. It's not like people are being sneaky about it or anything ;-)

[rocky76]

ok. so that technique works.. kind of.. I was able to get to the quick purchase screen, but... as soon as I press purchase I am thrown back to initial screen... oh well.. I shouldn't be buying SP, but the price is so tempting.

[dragonzknight]

https://www.shopnbc.com/product/default.aspx?familyid=V22957&action=qb&track=57&st oreid=1&Deptid=57

tell me if this link works.. if not go through electronics->videogames
i still see the sp there with the quick buy/add to cart buttons

[pinoy530]

Nope, doesnt work. Brings me to a screen that says inverntory is out.

[jshorr]

I just called to see when XBOX would be back in stock....got put in hold, and hung up on...damn...

[GSJaia]

Their site is getting hammered so bad that it is barely useable right now. :)

[notoriousxbox]

Was actually able to get on to the site

Both versios of the PS2 are sold out and so is the GBA SP

GC and XBox don't even come up under hardware.

[jasonditz]

Damn, almost got a Cobalt SP through this time...

[jshorr]

How long ago? Do they keep coming back in stock?

Damn, almost got a Cobalt SP through this time...

[dragonzknight]

heres a second method that seemed to work.....use the add to cart button and go from there. if it says out of stock go back and click add to cart until you do get it in your cart. add promotion with the same process and then purchase item with the same process....

[rocky76]

I dont' think they are actually in stock.. probably server glitch. I've had several successes, but I couldn't complete the purchase.

[doraemonkerpal]

same here! :(

[rocky76]

I just got the order in.. this method worked after 3 tries... wow

[dragonzknight]

Beautiful, we have confirmation......can you post when you get the email from them, cause i haven't gotten mine yet...

[doraemonkerpal]

dang, the site is getting bombed! i can't get anything to go through :(

[Doylerulez]

Thanks dragonzknight, your method worked despite a few glitches, such as my subtotal adding $50 instead of subtracting before it got to order total. The only problem I forsee is that I did not get an order # on my receipt, but an N/A. I assume that would be updated when they send the e-mail, so once again, I must resort to hope.

[rocky76]

no confirmation email yet.. doesn't show up in the history either. the wait begins..

[waxHead]

i got through on one as well, thanks for the link ;)

[Gothic Walrus]

Their GBA selection is entirely made up of crappy third party games.

They've lost my money. :)

[bobslidell]

The site is toast. Looks like they removed all consoles except the PS2 bundles, which are absurdly overpriced.

[jasonditz]

How long ago? Do they keep coming back in stock?

Damn, almost got a Cobalt SP through this time...

Mine popped up just about 5 pm... but then by the time I created an account and everything they were sold out.

[imacheapasstoo]

I had a GBA SP *in* my cart and went to check out and the web said it was no longer available and that I should make my purchases in a timely fashion. Less than a minute between adding it to my cart and proceeding to checkout isn't timely enough ?!?

[guessed]

Apparently not. Seriously though, I'm sorry you didn't get the GBA, but that message is a standard one that they give to everyone whose cart item sells out before finishing checkout, don't take it too personally.

bobslidell: The ps2 Squaresoft bundle is not absurdly overpriced after the coupon (the other bundles are pretty high, though). For $210 shipped one gets the PS2, a 3rd party dvd remote, an extra 3rd party controller, and 2 great games (Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts). Not the deal of the century, but not bad.

[doraemonkerpal]

geez, everytime i try to check out, it bring me to the opening page. i think imma just call them to place my order :(

[waxHead]

geez, everytime i try to check out, it bring me to the opening page. i think imma just call them to place my order :(

I wouldn't bother, keep trying the site. I called earlier, it seemed like the customer service rep checked the site when I asked about the GB SP and said it was out of stock, end of phone call.

[VA]

where are the games at?

I was thinking about getting twin snakes, the new harvest moon, and possibly a $20 game.

[computer_u]

where are the games at?

I was thinking about getting twin snakes, the new harvest moon, and possibly a $20 game.

It only works on a single item worth $99 or more. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[Hair6a11]

I tried coupling computer software with a total > $100 and it wouldn't work.

I ended up purchasing a nice learther jacket which was exactly 99 to begin with instead :)

[EggViper]

an sp for $50!!! and i missed out? i think im gonna cry....

how long does the promo code last for anyway..

I figured the stack trace might be useful ;)

This was happening earlier when the servers were overloaded, so it seems to be an issue with lag, not the links -- I tested them all.

Best advice I can give you is to retry the links every couple minutes, or possibly wait until the wee hours of the morning.

[waxHead]

Interesting, I hadn't noticed that the servers were tossing exceptions earlier. I guess I was more concerned about getting a GB SP than the actual error :)

in any case, thanks for consolidating the links, I might go after the XBox ;)

[bingbangboom]

Yeah, no Gamecubes... and I already bought games that I wanted. Hopefully this deal extends some to upcoming titles.

[King Bahamut]

Fuck the site isn't lagging :/ Deal is dead?

[Odibil]

Fuck the site isn't lagging :/ Deal is dead?

The site may not appear to be lagging client-side, but server-side, there are severe issues with e-commerce.

Every time I add a console to my shopping cart or try to access it to proceed to checkout, the error message appears. However, the homepage still shows that I have X amount of items in my cart, and you'll also notice that trying to shop for anything else on the site will yield the same results.

Again, all I can say is to keep trying -- especially when there's not a lot of traffic.

[King Bahamut]

But I noticed that the PS2 alone isn't listed in the product items...did they take it off?

[Odibil]

But I noticed that the PS2 alone isn't listed in the product items...did they take it off?

They did remove it from the search, but adding the item directly to your shopping cart will work -- at least when the site is functioning.

You're right...it's not even acting as a link anymore. That's odd...does this site have hours of operation?

*Edit: Nevermind...it lets me click through now...says I have 11 items in my cart (all the times I tried to add those items and kept getting the error) but I can't access them...hmmm...)

[EggViper]

those links are still giving me errors... anyway to add the items into ur cart by putting in product numbers?

EDIT: i c now my cart actually does have 10 items in there, which means the links are working just that i cant c them.

[CD]

Didn't get anything game-related but that swank portable DVD player was just too good to pass up after coupon :)

[guessed]

I decided to try out those links, just for giggles. For those others who have tried it, when you look at your cart, notice this showing for each item:

"You should have this item in your home by January 15, pending credit verification."

(underline added for emphasis)

[cruzincontrol]

I can't get any of that jack to work..i see no ps2, xbox, or gba sp's..jobbed yet again...

odibil i didn't ask for you to spam your post....but I stick with what I said and I got jobbed. How can I add anything if I can't find it or website doesn't display any system....as for your r&d it seems to should go the way as many of these crappy games.......back to the drawing board......(Donald Trump)>>YOU'RE FIRED!!!

I tried to use the coupon code on a $99.99 item and it came up with an error stating that I need an item that is $99...WTF??

Damn the code is done I think

[Odibil]

I can't get any of that jack to work..i see no ps2, xbox, or gba sp's..jobbed yet again...

Look back on the previous page of this thread where I've listed direct links to add the consoles directly to your shopping cart. I can't keep spamming the same text.

If you are getting Server "/" Errors, the server is overloaded, so try back later.

As of 10AM EST (03/17/04) the links and shopping cart are working properly.

Edit - The coupon code itself doesn't seem to be working for the consoles anymore -- "You have not met the minimum purchase amount of $99.00" -- More information later.

[rocky76]

still no confirmation email, and nothing on the order history. I guess I am not getting my GBA SP.

[metroidkiller9]

code is dead

[waxHead]

might want to make sure you're not charged for it.

[Odibil]

code is dead

Code isn't dead as it still works with some jewelry and apparel, but most of the gaming/electronics items seem to have been withdrawn from the coupon.

[cruster]

I love when these idiot retailers come out with a coupon code and then decide they're going to restrict it to certain items only. Why bother with a coupon at all? Good PR I guess but they just end up alienating people. I don't want a f**king Kitchenaid, I want a GBA SP. Bastards.

[metroidkiller9]

i tried it with dvds and it no longer works with them

[organicow]

NBC totally got hosed on this deal! It's so funny how unprepared they seemed to be for all of the ordering. It will be interesting to see how many of the orders actually get shipped!

[EggViper]

i bet there were just hoping people buy there $500 plus things and get $50 off of that, and never even thought people might take advantage of the lower priced items.

[King Bahamut]

code is dead

Nono, I meant for the game related stuff, the stuff that matters to everyone here :P .

I was hoping for a $130 PS2, I'm not buying until I can find a new one for under $150 :(.

[Morpheus]

Damn, too bad this place doesn't seem to sell Steel Battalion...

Diiz, funny you mention Steely Bats. I just preordered Steely Bats two days ago at EBgames.com. They had a coupon for 10% of any preordered games. That brought Steely Bats down to $179.99. Then I used $180 in gift vouchers that I got using that 4 for 1 trade-in with CC games at EBgames.com when it was still good. So, I actually got Steely Bats for $72 dollars plus shipping makes it $89.99. Best deal for Steely Bats I have seen ever. You might be able to catch the 10% off preorders code again sometime in the future. But watch out sometimes Steely Bats is exempt from the 10% of preorder code. I just happened to catch it at the right time. :D

[guessed]

What model is the good one? I'm planning on picking one up when it hits $129 or less.

The newest model, to my knowledge, is the SCPH-50001.

As far as not packaging the network bundle with the 50001, it would be funny in a painful sort of way if that were true -- I ordered the network bundle because I thought it stood a better chance of having the new model (I already have a network adapter)
