I was ready with my "running shoes" on and credit card in hand.

They were right. It WAS a frustrating experience.
I tried to get in starting 2 minutes before the site went up, tried for 16 more minutes, and by 14 minutes after the hour the site was pulled back down. At least they warned me.

One thing this DID do was give me pause about jumping further on the ROKU bandwagon. Its time to think and re-shop the digital set top box to see what else is out there, since they whetted my appetite but did not satisfy my Black Friday urge to get shopping out of the way.


I know they meant well, but I think it was a mistake.
