Does anybody have the 1-800 number for Futureshop saved? I'd like to just call in and ask them a question, but apparently even though I was already browsing the website, I'm back in a queue to browse the website some more.

I know this kind of thing is difficult, but it's definitely not impossible.

I'm calling them to confirm this myself!!!

There's really no excuse for it though... They know damn well the hit their servers will take, it's probably the company's single biggest online promo of the year, and they weren't prepared.

Damn..

It's absolutely ridiculous that you have to queue to browse their product. I can understand for an SSL secure connection, but just to browse the site?

Ridiculous....

Hmm, sounds promising. Naturally i'm sure they'll reset the BB.ca servers as well.

On the FS Forums:

There are currently 124 members online and 21326 guests

Lol.. and it's super fast, guess they should have spoken with their forum provider about doing their main site.

Hm, though with 22000 guests, that probably means 100,000 people minimum hitting the FS site.

Well that's it for me, I've given up and should probably go see the family.

Merry Christmas and happy shopping to you all!

In the FS queue now, and actually got a red bar this time!

EDIT: 50%! Hopefully it doesn't turn into a laptop this time.
