Xbox 360 sells out in seconds

completely forgot about the deal that Amazon.com was putting on their website this morning. It was a Microsoft Xbox 360 Core system for $100 - a unit that retails for $299.

From reports it seems the website became unresponsive in the last few seconds leading up to 11AM PST, which is when the deal was to be made available.

Only 1,000 systems were available at that price and there were millions of people vying for one of those so the chances of landing one were pretty slim anyways.
