    Wonder if people are actually buying for themselves or to put on ebay and make a quick profit

    At least they only allow 1 item per person so it gives other people a chance of getting something but you have to complete the sale straight away to stand a chance as it's a case of blink and miss it so it's handy to think of what you want and it it comes on buy it if the price is reasonable

    Is everything 1 per person?

    According to the T&C's their shopping basket will only let you purchase 1 item per special offer unless you have more than 1 account but with the speed of everything selling I doubt you will have time to go through the checkout proceedure on more than 1 account

    It's weird the way the xbox was only £30 at 3am then they decide to up the price by £10 when they know more people will be watching the site at a reasonable hour of the day

    I wonder how much traffic is being generated on their site within this 24 hour period
