    Thanks for the heads up. TigerDirect has some very good deals. And the shipping is only $1.99, so I'm definitely doing my Holiday shopping there.

    This seems like it will be impossible to get the Sony VAIO TT198U/B or the 64GB USB Flash Drive...

    Though after seeing what the Sony VAIO TT198U/B is I would just try to sell it to make a nice profit lol.

    I do really want the 64GB USB Flash Drive though. :(

    I don't get this Webcast Sale thing: so starting at 12:00 PM, they will announce a specific item for sale at a specific hours and ONLY at that time you can purchase?

    If that's true, then that means I have to be keep watching for 12 hours straight?

    Sadly, it looks to be that way, yes. There had to be a major catch, especially for that Vaio TT going for $999.99. They'll probably only have a couple of units for sale, I stay up watching the whole webcast to see it pop up and by the time I dial the first digit in the phone number to order, their all sold out. :(
    Come on Sony, nobody will buy these for full price in this economy, instead of letting them gather dust, gimme one for $1000! :D

    I wish CompUSA and TigerDirect will give us more details on how this thing works. There is NO WAY I will sit for 12 hours straight in front of a PC, even wih the VAIO TT gong with $4K off. Sell me a brand new BMW 3 Series for $5K I WILL sit down in front of my PC and have people working for me ready to call. :)

    But seriously... I am even hesitant putting my cell number for the SMS automated message because I am afraid they will not stop SMS-spamming me long after the deal is done..

    Yeah i want to use the SMS feature as well just not sure though. Also do you think its better to purchase it off the internet or on the phone as soon as you find out which site will be selling the laptop?

    I'd say do BOTH. Website will be hammered, but phone line will be jammed too!

    I have an idea about the SMS: tomorrow, buy a pay-per-use disposable SIM card, load it with like $30 (for text messages) and use the number from that SIM card for the PinkFriday.org auto notification. Done!

    You have unlimited text messages! And, you signed up for the SMS service....If your so worried about continued text messages when you receive *what you want* ~ you do have the option of changing your cell phone number ~ when it's all said and done!! ;)

    Or, can't you *opt out* at the end, when its all said and done???? :D

    Here see this linky provided on the site, on *canceling alerts*

    http://www.4info.net/support/faq.jsp#deletealert

    How do I stop receiving alerts?
    To stop your alerts, you can do one of the following things:
    1. If you want to stop an alert you just received from your phone, send a text message to 44636 (or any other 4INFO shortcode*) with the word stop.
    2. If you want to stop all alerts from your phone, send a text message to 44636 (or any other 4INFO shortcode*) with the words stop all.
    3. If you want to stop an alert on the web, log on to your account at 4INFO.net and delete the alert you wish to stop by clicking on "delete" next to that alert.
    4. If you want to stop all alerts on the web, log on to your account at 4INFO.net and delete the alerts associated with your phone number by clicking on "delete all".
    * Other 4INFO shortcodes include 446361, 446362, 446363, and 80676.

    Has anyone had any luck ordering anything via the webcasts???

    I have had a constant *all circuits are busy*, and can never get thru..and things are selling out within minutes...I understand a ton of peeps are trying to order. :eek:

    It's a great cause, but to me things seem to be a bit *harried* and *disorganized* :eek:

    I think I may give up on this one :(

    I used this link:

    http://www.ustream.tv/channel/comptv

    It's all being sold via this webcast...and the 800# on the screen..

    Problem is...YOU can never get thru...and it's a bit disorganized.

    They present the product for sale..you call and attempt to get thru to purchase and run into *all circuits are busy*...and the products are selling out within minutes.

    I gave up...this sale was giving me a serious headache. :(

    Congrats! you hope it's all legit??? ....If someone hijacked TigerDirect's webcast and posted false 800 #s...can you imagine? Nevermind, I don't even want to think about it! Order away...if you are one of the lucky ones who gets through!
