Actually, it was unavailable for purchase until 11:00 AM PST, 2 PM Eastern. I kept hitting refresh, and then, it vanished- I had to scroll way down and click the link to that specific sale, but it wouldn't load. Then it was sold out a few moments later.

Kind of a rip, really. If they can't handle the server traffic, then they shouldn't hold these kinds of events.

Same thing happened to me, I was pretty pissed. I wasn't counting on getting one but I thought that I would at least be able to place an order. I just refreshed again at 12:59 here and it wouldn't load until it was all sold out. They definetly need to work things out with their server load.

I've got an email that amazon sent me when the vote was closed. I'll post it once I get it saved to my hard drive.

Heh...I guess I'll vote, but now that I see how difficult it is to "win", I'll probably just ignore it from now on.

My friend told me that it only took 27 seconds to sell out of 360s and then the sever crashed.

I did get a little further than that. I was able to click on the buy one button and was asked a question of "what is 20 + 12" This kinda threw me off. I grabbed a calculator (only kidding) did the math and started reading the terms and conditions. All of a sudden I realized that I needed to quit reading and buy the thing. I clicked submitt and it apoligized for being sold out. I am still kicking myself for being so slow.
