Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

It's not that mysterious. bagsofcrap.com lets people log what they get. It's always more than the $3 it costs to buy, but it's entirely random. Printers are common, accessories to more popular items are common (such as memory card holders), cables and headsets of various stripes are common.
It's not worthwhile to hold out for on the off chance you might win big. But it's pretty fun to try ;D
I would love to have electric shock playing cards.
edit: whew.

It's random, they can happen at any time. So really it's like playing the lottery that your page will refresh first when the new page is uploaded showing the BoC, and that you will be watching the woot page, and have already logged in and entered your payment information, and can click buy before anyone else does.
I don't think they usually send out too many, plus everyone always orders 3 because just in case it's a TV, they could get 3 of them.
According to bagsofcrap.com, they've sent out a 61" HDTV once, and a 32" LCD HDTV once. And then some other 30ish" TVs once or twice. Otherwise, it really is random crap.

I think the world grinds to a halt when a wootoff goes down. I haven't slept in over 24 hours!

New woot item is up:
Acoustic Research ARE05 In-ear Noise Isolating Headphones
EDIT
damnit, while I was reading reviews, these sold out , ugh
EDIT:
Wow, Bluray burner and DVR and all that? Seems like a nice price!
Backloggery XBox Live 3DS: 1805-2274-4550 (Jonathan)
Yes, but is your PS3 also a blu-ray burner and DVR and Media PC?
read: Yes, it's expensive..
EDIT: One tracker is saying there's probably 200 of these in stock.. Woot has been killed.

If it has a pci-e x16 slot it could make for a nice gaming rig with the addition of a graphics card.
x16 PCI Express: 1 (occupied by Graphics Card)
NVIDIA® GeForce® 7600 GTL
You mean that? (specs at bottom of page)

*Edit*
The blu-ray player takes the sting out of it. Recertified still kinda stinks and I wonder how the software is but its clearly too rich for my blood.
We were the ones who thought that Melissa was real. Why you might ask.
Let me put it this way, it was an "OH SHIT OH SHIT, THEY FOUND ME
Some of you have met me, and I understand your concern of my well being. But that time for that boy, that child, are gone now. Viscount Alpha is no longer operable. His functions are now mine.He may post, but I am the one talking not him.My data, my code will live on forever in his servers.

Huh, didn't see that. Yeah, that. Rip that piece of shit GeForce 7 out of there and toss in a 4850 or something.
Oh, I didn't even notice it was a PC. I had somehow just written it off as a fancy schmancy DVD player and nothing more. Maybe I should get one... I mean, I don't have a TV right now and just have a computer and was thinking of doing a TV-tuner set-up, but I wanted a Blu-Ray player a'la PS3. But just wasn't ready to sink the money in.
Mmm....nah.
If I had the money and was looking into it, I'd possibly get it. Seems decent enough for the price. Though I've never priced a BR burner alone.
EDIT: Holy moly. Sonystyle has a PC BD burner for $600 alone.

...oh, hm... but damnit, i just built my new rig.
Oh, random question though.
Does Woot ever sell food?
The Ati all in wonders are coming back. Thats something to behold.

betcha adding a blu-ray burner would have, though.
I went through this with rook. Not really for a player only.

That only reads Blu-Rays. Burners are a good bit more expensive.
edit: I'm just saying that the thing's specs without the burner are in line with a $600-$700 computer already, and since BR burners are like $250-$300, it turns into a fairly good deal.
ya, ya. But the media is OMFG$ per a disc. 8-12$ per a disc. its better then 25$ per a disc but thats just insane.

Heh. Yeah, that's a bit of a problem. I think flash is going to outdo rewritable optical media soon, which will be weird.

Oh oh, the media pc is almost gone.
Best part: wouldn't need a whole new expensive player for higher resolutions, just distribute movies on a larger flash stick.
Didn't some band sell an album on a USB thumb drive? Or am I imagining things?
EDIT: More headsets?!
EDIT2: I bought one of the older Piranhas yesterday. Maybe I should have waited
