[Holy crap!] It's another WOOT-OFF!

It's that time of year again guys. The time where most weak-willed souls are stripped of the contents of their wallets.

http://www.woot.com

and the mirror site to help the main bogged-down server:

http://www.archonwarp.com

But what is a "Woot-Off" exactly?

I see some orange flashing lights on the main page – what do they mean?
No, you aren't seeing a side effect from your allergy medication. You have found a Woot-Off, a short term frenzied mutation of our product posting procedure. In Woot-Off mode, a new product is launched immediately after the sellout of the previous deal. There is a half-Woot-life of 12 hours maximum on any product within a Woot-Off that does not sell out. The number of Woot-Off items, sequence, and quantity will not be announced. When Woot-Off mode is over, the orange lights will disappear and our normal schedule will resume. Depending on its success, this may be a mode we would go into once or twice a month for a relatively short duration of time (24-72 hours generally.)

Will update the OP as long as I'm awake.

    Good thing I refreshed the index before submitting my WOOT OFF post, because mine sucked. What's the chances they'll unleash a Wii during this?

    0. More likely to sell off some PS3 surplus. ^_^

    Edit: Wow, cheap home theater system.

    Anyone know anything about this system? I'm not really in the market for one, but that's a decent price depending on the quality, and I wouldn't mind having one.

    Edit: too late anyway. No real loss.

    Something to add to the OP: http://woot.wikia.com sooner or later it'll be updated with all the info from the current woot off. Also has links to Woot-Off checkers.

    At least if we keep getting crap like this grill, I won't miss much until tomorrow :P

    Those went amazingly fast, and they were a very good deal. They're regularly $40 a pop, and you got two sets it seemed. Might've gone for them if I had more time. Hopefully this GPS will be a woot-off killer while I get some sleep.

    Edit: Gone already? Damn.
