There's not a woot-off on, but today's product description is one of the best I've ever read...

I've gotten an email from Woot saying that there'll be a woot-off starting at midnight tonight.

I've gotten newsletters from them periodically but I've never gotten a heads-up message of a Woot Off. Now I can't go to bed till we can confirm or deny the existence...

:: laugh :: Two of them, actually. But this is the first time I've ever gotten a wootoff warning from them.
I was planning to stay up to see if the first item was a bag of crap, but they're operating on central time, and there's no way I'm going to be able to keep my eyes open for another hour.

It was that arcade game, it was pretty cool for $200. I've seen Woot list ones similar for over $1000.

The warning email was phrased in such a way as to imply it was an internal staff memo that had been leaked. It was quite hilarious.

Ah. Well, during the last wootoff they had a similar winewoot detour. It lasted quite a bit longer than the shirtwoot detour did this time, though.

I just failed to get a bag of crap. I didn't even manage to get to the screen where you select the number you want before their servers went down.

I tried getting one, they supposed still had 85% when I clicked I want one, but I only could get server too busy screens. How does anyone get one when that happens?

quote:Of course, if you're the average Wooter, you're more of the frugal type who might find an even better shipping deal. The kind of deal you only discover when you're slow and methodical. The kind that goes to the sort of person who never comes out of their shell. And maybe will be afraid of salt. There's got to be some kind of coupon code for those types.
SPOILER: The coupon code is "SNAIL", of course.

Yeah. Let's see if it works.
EDIT: Ok, so I was right about the code. Let's see if I get a chance to use it!

Try again. It lagged horribly for me at first, but I did eventually get in, and it ain't sold out yet...

For Pop it said $5 shipping. For me it said $1,000,000 shipping. I even got to the next page, but couldn't figure out the code. #^$*%*$^%

I got through processing twice, but for some reason didn't get anything. It just took me to front page.
