WTF is up at FutureShop.ca?

They’re trying things differently by launching their big Boxing Day Sale today. It actually started 45mins ago.

Cool, I would like a $60 iPod Shuffle and a $65 8G SDHC Memory Card please.

But instead of being whisked away to a checkout, I’m stuck in a 404-ish limbo. Check this out:

Huh? What the hell is that? I’m online and waiting in line? Ummm… I’m online so I dont have to freeze my ass for 35hrs like every other boxing day jackass. So I wait. Inline. Online.

This is messed up.

**Update** Been at it for over 30 mins now and just got this message:

Guests are over for our Christmas Eve dinner and I’m sequestered upstairs trying to buy a cheap iPod. That’s not very merry, and frankly neither is this experience.

Don’t think it’s gonna happen.

Nice job, FS. Asshats.

**Update 2** It’s now almost 10:30p, some 5 1/2 hours after the sale started and they’ve only sold 400 of the extra cheap iPod shuffles. Something tells me lots of people got screwed on this, gave up and went to bed. Good news, I got my iPod and SD HC dirt cheap. Now I get to go downstairs and wrap presents.

Still not happy I sweated over 45mins of disconnects and stalling and crap at 5p though.
