Deals.Woot

I'm a Blizzard fan, and have been waiting for the big reveal as well!

@faughtey: You are, of course, referring to Diablo III...

So do we just stay there and wait?

@freakof84: I'm surprised no one said WoW...

@mlucki: While WoW comes to mind when Blizzard is mentioned, its currently out and if I chose to play, I don't have to wait, unlike D3.

So are we supposed to go to a Dairy Queen when the clock ticks down, or might it be something on that web page?

...just in time for FAT TUESDAY!!!

OK...this doesn't seem like the normal Woot post. Nothing to buy, no deal here.

GREAT ???

The Count-down ends at Noon M.S.T. in the middle of Ash Wednesday... a day of sacrifice, fasting, and abstinence by Roman Catholics and other Christian denominations around the world.

Nice Planning, D.Q. !!!

@hlx: I already planned on re-posting when the deal goes live!

@misterron: it's live and there is nothing! Just an announcement with no links, etc.

@chipgreen: It's supposed to start at 1PM Mountain Time. Whatever the deal is, it will apparently start when the clock runs down to 0:00, which is now at 41 minutes and counting down!

ummm... anyone notice the countdown now goes for another 5 days 22hrs?

@wilcononomous: I noticed that, and it stinks! However, until the next 5 DAYS go by, I signed up for buy 1, get 1 free mini, small, or medium blizzard coupons for 6 times a year. Not much of a consolation. It's almost a bait and switch tactic. Damn you DQ! Looking at the outline on the upper right of their page, I bet they're giving a Mini Cooper, or several of them.

I'm sorry. But, if you put a long countdown timer, let alone one promising a massive giveaway at the end, then you should expect a massive traffic spike when the counter finishes. I thought that was at least a given.

Makes me want to go to Baskin Robbins.

@chipgreen: I have lost interest too! Just to get a CHANCE at winning a Mini Cooper a person must enter a video contest! I'm sorry I put all of you through this garbage! In the words of chipgreen: "Fzck DQ!"

@misterron: Don't be too hard on yourself. How were you to know they'd pull some slick trick? Well, maybe we ALL should've known some things are too good to be true, but still...

@hlx: Why the poor attitude? You'll just have to get over it, as I have.

Ok.
After taking a closer look, it's just a 2for1 coupon for signing up for the email blast.

Hype removed. Link fixed.

Note: The Mini Cooper giveaway is a contest. We don't do contests.

All told.

As I am sure everyone has figured out by now, this isn't really an offer at all. When you click on "I want one!", you are taken to the DQ page where you sign up for their blizzard club. This is something that is ALWAYS available. Whenever you sign up (and you can use a newly-created e-mail address, of course), you get a 2 for 1 blizzard coupon e-mailed to you (which you can print multiple copies of).
