You must be remembering the last time Amazon ran the Customers Vote program, it was a big hit and the products disappeared in no time. Now they are back with a Special Edition of the Customers Vote program.
This time the whole gist of it is a bit different. Here is a quote from Amazon on how it works.
Select the item that you want: the Sony PlayStation 3 (20GB), the Nintendo Wii, or the Sony PlayStation 3 (60GB). Then click the “Sign up” button under that item to get a chance to be randomly selected for the opportunity to purchase that item. Note:
- Your Amazon.com account must have been created no later than 11:59 p.m. (Pacific time) on December 11, 2006.
- You need an authorized credit card on your account.
- The claim codes will be distributed only to randomly selected customers.
- If selected, you are eligible to buy only the deal that you signed up for.
The sign-up process ends on Sunday, December 17, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time. Come back to this page anytime on Tuesday, December 19 (12:00 a.m. – 11:59 p.m. Pacific time), to find out if you have been randomly selected for the opportunity to purchase the console that you signed up for.
Dates to remember:
- Your Amazon.com account must have been created no later than 11:59 p.m. (Pacific time) on December 11, 2006.
- The sign-up process ends on Sunday, December 17, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time.
- You have to visit this page anytime on Tuesday, December 19 (12:00 a.m. – 11:59 p.m. Pacific time).
I’ve signed-up for the “incredibly hard to find” Nintendo Wii console. Last time when I tried for an XBox 360 console the site was slow enough to let me loose my bid. I hope this time there won’t be any competition for traffic.
Here is the link to the page.
Good luck and please leave your comments.
