If the amazon one, the cheapest its ever been on amazon is £280.

Nowhere else comes even close to the deal price.

I like the way there is 4 of them, they have taken the child seat out, obviously but the back seats down...

Where are 2 of them going to sit when going home?

But ultimately they'll get faster & come down in price.

EDIT: Good price, but it'd sit on the shelf for 6 months, so I'll kick myself for not buying it then.

Not sure if this has been discussed yet??

Why do you have to queue to get on the Currys website? Is it to create a demand that is led by a marketing campaign or genuine? My curiosity has got the better of me and I am waiting in the queue......

I don't even want to buy anything at the moment!

My other half was number 360,xxx last night. Seems mental, no way that many people were on 1 website in a queue at the same time, surely?

Because the server might be only able to cope with 100 orders a second and could crash if its something like 500 a second, then you have to get it back online and lose all that potential income.

Then they need to hire some better infrastructure engineers!

Same company isn't it?

Servers here could process 100'000 orders a second... ( and thats nothing special ) - ie, it's a load of bks.

Yup. Even a cruddy hosting solution should be able to cope with the load.

For a while today links to Amazon were pulling back bugger all. And they're offering hosting services. So surely any "unavailability" must have been down to marketing. Or at least I'd hope so - otherwise they're doing a crappy job of selling their own services.

My order crashed on the verified by Visa page but I got an email confirmation from Currys seconds later, so happy days!

My mate mentioned Tesco have iPad Mini for 149gbp - I presume this is for an original one?
