Thanks for the heads up again. Only problem is I won't have $ until I get paid on Friday. Anyone here willing to purchase one for me? I can send you the $ plus a "handling fee" via Paypal on Friday. If not, no worries. I was able to get one of the "Ice Blue" versions a few weeks back.

I plan on picking one up. Provided the d-bags, who buy 5-10 at a time to gouge on ebay, do not get them all.....

wow, it was my post, and I did not! gone in 30 minutes, I guess it was more in demand than the ice blue by a factor of what 18?

I managed to get 2. Not by choice...

When I went on the site at 11:00 CST the site was really slow. The quantity drop down would only display 2, so I thought I will get two. Placed my order, which took forever to get to the checkout, and payed with my paypal account. When I got my reciept email it showed a quantity of one, with the charge for two. with no description of the charge. I called pdp and left a message.

A woman named Patti called me and she was actually in the IT department, not from customer service. As a fellow IT person we chatted a little bit and it was her and another guy on shift. They said they were running on a shared server and some guy was running a query for the database the time the went live. That's why the server crashed 10 minutes later. She actually ran a database query to see if my order was correct. She said they got hit with about 10,000 people all at once. She said alot of people were probably going to be pissed they couldn't get their order in.

I just had to share my order experience. I thought it was kinda funny how I got directed to the IT department and ended up tallking to the people running the show!

Congrats. Any chance you would be willing to sell one at a reasonable cost?

I managed to get one of the ice blue ones too... I have a friend getting back to me whether or not he wants it. If he passes I will let you guys know. I hesitate to put it up on flea bay cause most of those people are out to gouge people. I mean when someone has an auction and selling them for $300 apiece and has 5 available... c'mon....

How bout letting the collectors get them. The people who would appreciate them and not hog them for profit.
