Cyber Monday Mayhem | $1.00 Random Loot | Buy Online for $1
Razer "doorbusters" - 300 random lots of gear - $1 each. You have no idea what your dollar snagged you until it arrives, though, but the list of gear they'll randomize from is pretty impressive. Worth a buck, anyway.

I should've mentioned - doesn't kick off until 12:01 ET.
lots of trouble actually getting to the page
their site is being ownt with the amounts of traffic this is drawing. Good luck getting to the check out
@mexcactus: It was ok until about half an hour ago. I haven't been able to get back since...
The lack of loading reminds me of the digg effect...
Google cache: http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:K-FJdE1MlbkJ:www.razerzone.com/random-loot/
Thanks for the link but that is hours old and the page will most likely change at midnight. I got the page to load partway :(
@chris12345: Even the google cache is running slow
This is worse than a Woot-Off BOC attempt. (I got my first BOC last Woot-Off)
Hope you have a Razer store account already...
@y0himba: Ya I didn't have a chance to make one a few hours ago so I guess no point in even trying now.
I know right? Holy crap.
I've been trying to load the site for half an hour. No luck.
no luck for me either.
Wow - now there's a "Woot effect".
How will we use this new term? Shall we say the site has been "wooted"?
Hey, page loaded & it said they are under going maintenance.
"Razerzone.com is undergoing a scheduled maintenance.
In an effort to better serve you, we are currently making enhancements to our site. We appreciate your patience during this time, and encourage you to return here shortly."
They got Waped, Wooted, and Piwwaged.
(Raped looted and pillaged looted with a speech impediment)
@mariod: At least it's not just timing out and resetting connections... ;)
Yep. Just got this message:
"Razerzone.com is undergoing a scheduled maintenance.

dupe
LOL just like Woot! This will hold me over until the next BOC I can scream at the screen for...

grrrrrrr. back to bed i go in disappointment.
@mholger: yea for real, but wtf is it really maintenance or they just getting nailed with traffic?
@mariod: they're entirely pwn3d. I assume their "scheduled maintenance" is more "putting out the fire in the datacenter."
Bah. According to the OP they only had 300, with the traffic the site must be getting they are all gone.
@y0himba: yea but nobody is getting through...
It's just like a Woot BOC. Some folks gets though and get then and the server dumps the rest of the traffic after a certain point. They are gone.
@y0himba: true, but I'm F5in like a bitch right now.
Well you need to stop.
Because I am too ;)
Hey it just changed, now it says:
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down...
(haha not really), but it's 12:32 and thats what its starting to look like.
ROFL! They seriously should shunt the traffic to a working server and Rick Roll everyone.
w00t! Their server actually did something useful! Now...did anything actually get into my cart? Hmmm.
@mholger: =0
You got through?
The page loaded enough for me to click add to cart... now it's not responding again.
Tried twice to hit the site. No luck. We're going to tombstone this for the time being.
" *
o Razer Random Loot was successfully added to your shopping cart."
lets see if it actually happens now...
This is, uhh, new:
http://screencast.com/t/NmRkOGJhODI
Lol, their database tanked. I wonder if they'll get it working again soon. I'm guessing too many concurrent requests.
I got to checkout 2x, but it just isn't loading.
I got to the "Add to cart" button. Waiting for the next page...
Btw, The general rule of thumb for situations like this is to NOT MASH F5! Click something ONCE and then wait patiently for the page to load. It will be better that way, I promise. =)
@cuchaz: yep, just like the BOC. I've been refreshing the checkout page.
I still can't even get the main page to load. :(
Just now it told me the "Loot's all gone." Apparently only the first 300 people got something.
Loot's All Gone!
Congrats to the 300 lucky customers who managed to get an EPIC loot on their way out. For the rest of you guys, come back tomorrow and make any purchase, we'll slip in a nice early christmas gift in your order when we ship it out.
Game On!
The Razer Store Team
Such crap! Personally, I think it was a fail sale. They got overloaded, server crashed & they decided to end it. I was at checkout 3-5x like everybody else on facebook. I think they changed the game plan when the servers failed. So what's the "come back tomorrow and make any purchase, we'll slip in a nice early christmas gift in your order" I think this is a way to make up for this failure. NOBODY on facebook got through. I stayed for for 2 hours refreshing! Razer failed on this one. Such a bummer.
@mariod: Or.... we wooted them out.
Aw I missed it; Bought my first Razer in 1998 when they started; the 1000dpi Boomslang ball mouse. As with wireless mice today, serious gamers then didn't touch optical mice. Optical tracking has improved greatly since; perhaps technology will eliminate the dreaded wireless lag.
