Amazon is doing a poll of which deals customers want to see each week. I assume this is up to Christmas. You can pick from one of the following deals to go sale starting this Thursday, Nov. 30 @ 11am pst.

1) Axion Portable DVD Player- Amazon Price: $109.99. Winning Price $25. (1,000 units @ winning price)
2) Prime Membership + $100 Toys Promotional Certificate- Amazon Price: $179 Winning Price: $40 (2,000 units @ winning price)
3) Diamond Stud Earrings- Amazon Price: $1,099. Winning Price $350 (190 units @ winning price)
4) Black & Decker 12-Volt Drill- Amazon Price: $49.99 Winning Price: $10 (2,500 units @ winning price)

So far, the axion dvd player is leading the vote..

"Amazon ran a special promotion this week but under-estimated the demand for the product from users with fast connections. At exactly 2pm EST, the offer was open (an Xbox core system at less than half-price). Unfortunately for Amazon, so many people were waiting for the promotion that the entire Amazon website - not just the promotion page - sank without a trace from just before 2pm, to at least 2:12pm. The home page, the product pages, everything, were unavailable."

Somebody on that page made the comment that the downtime was probably WORSE than any money they would have lost from rock bottom price deals.

i never understood why someone would purchase a portable dvd player, when a laptop is much more functional, bigger screen, etc. the price perhaps,..?

You're talking about Amazon, the commercial must have been effective.

$100 worth of software + free shipping for a year for $40 >> a $100 dvd player for $25
