look back at the PS3 mgs launch. Nothing worked then.

To the Amazon guy on the forum. Consider selling the deal and give the codes as and when available. You could stock 20000 SKUs. (say) and open the gates. Keys can roll in a few hours.

Deal came briefly. Gone again.

everyone has suits... Including Amazon. ;) Trust me I know.

Guys, I can buy this deal (I have some funds in a US account). Can I use these codes sitting in India using steam? Please respond quickly before the deal runs out.

Any idea on how many days before launch date does hardware hit inventory of physical stores? 2 weeks? a month? I'm in the states till the 24th of May. was wanting to know, if there is anyway I can get hold of the upcoming 80 gig bundle (I was looking for the bundle value, sum o parts, more than...

Ship it to NJ and make a monthly trip to collect the stuff... :) Heck I might yet do that. I was planning to stay with some relatives in NY this summer vacation. I'll ship the stuff to NJ and pick it up, when I'm there to meet friends... :)

But, if I think about it's applicability to me, this is a good question. In Thailand and Europe, you get a VAT refund, if you are not a resident of the country. Too bad, there is nothing like that in the States. Got that refund more than once to know that this works very well... :)

I'm not supposed to... I don't live in the US :)

No More Tax Free Online Purchases For New York With New "Amazon Tax" Bill In case living in New York wasn't already expensive enough, state lawmakers passed the "Amazon Tax" bill this week, which will require online retailers to collect sales taxes on purchases shipped to the state, even when...

I'm not that much of a gamer... I loved the Atari many moons ago and since then was a PC gamer for well over a decade and more recently moved to the PSP. I was reviewing the Xbox 360 when it was going to be launched in India and that's when I decided to move to a console. Since I was...

Don't have a comp at home. I just plug in the office provided laptop to the internet connection at home (though I have an office wireless data connection as well) for pretty much everything. The only reason UT3 is on the list, is because I had good memories playing UT on the PC. But you raise...

Hell! no. Haven't been anywhere near an IT co. ever (unless you count a dotcom as one). I live & work in India. In the US for a two week holiday and happen to be staying over at my aunt and uncle, neither of whom work for IBM. :)

Regarding the BC: never owned either the PS or PS2, tho a lot of games are available here for next to nothing. Dunno, if I it is worth the effort to find a 80G for them. I mostly wanted the 80G for the excellent bundle value. I'm assuming you meant I can't go wrong with the accessories. I've...
