    Friggin' finally! If any of you guys are interested be sure to check my siggy, I'm having doubts anyone actually wants these anymore so it may go for a reasonable price. I'll prolly sell if the reserve isn't met, I just need to get rid of it.

    Yay, FINALLY, only took 52 mins. I was there right at midnight (east coast) as soon as I click add to cart, DOWN.

    Think geek seems to have survived with a bloody lip and a bad limp. For a while I thought they were done for, esp with the 404 errors.

    It was so worth the trouble of dealing with the crappy shopping cart on the site (kept adding and removing CTS prints, and then said I had 4 prints in my cart, on the top bar, then on the bottom said I had none).

    I hope think geek prepares itself more for the next print!

    This gets better and better. It's taken me back to the cart, and now the checkout button loads... The cart again.

    Congrats to everyone that managed to get theirs finished. If anyone feels like passing some good karma my way I could really use some right now. :(

    ThinkGeek seems to be up and running again, for anybody not paying attention. I just added another print to my cart, then deleted it. All functioning smoothly.

    WOOHOO!!!! DONE! My stupid cart emptied itself so I had to re-add it and then it went through fine.

    I can now go to work a happy man. :) Bye all, and good luck to anyone still trying.

    Thanks for the heads-up. I'll watch it for a few days and see if it runs out of my price range. Got to check with the wife first before I can okay buying another print like that.

    I'll buy it for a reasonable price. Like I said I was pretty gutted when I missed it originally. PM me to discuss, but it does require shipping to the UK.

    Had to change comps to fix the damn shopping cart error and then wait an hour to finally get the store to load again.. but nothing felt better than hitting that submit final order button and getting the receipt.. UPS better get this to me as fast as the got me the PAX DVD, that only took like 2 days.. I can't wait :shock:

    Awesome. I got mine. I also almost went for 2, but felt bad and took just the 1.

    You know, that's some amazing power this community wields. As cool as PA is, I just can't fathom how we're large enough to take down sites like that. The only other force I know of on the net similar in its ability to wreak havoc is FARK.

    I'll say it again... WANGed!

    I second that wanging

    I was hoping thinkgeek could handle it, since they are geeks afterall. I hope most people got though without too much of a hitch, I know thinkgeek must have done a mad scramble

    Am so pleased I managed to get one.

    Went to bed at 2:30am, up at 5am give up waiting for ThinkGeek to recover so back to bed for 30mins. Back up at 6am and order went through without issue. Also managed to change the order from being 3 back to 1. Back to bed and up for work at 8:30am.


    OMG am I tired this morning :shock: worth it though.

    I made the mistake of going and getting ready for work and walking the dog while the server was dead, and when I came back it was sold out. Now I'm tired at work and cel-free. Why did the stupid cocks make it a limited anyway, PA has about 3 billion clicks a week. So upset.

    Doh. Now I feel bad for not getting multiple copies, because I had a feeling some folks I knew would get left out.. Hi from my xbox live Splinter Cell 2 days, Ashcroft. :)

    I guess someone is trying to sell last year's print on eBay and the damn thing is up to $200, which leaves me wondering how many people brought multiples with intent to profit on them. :(
