Got one on both of my accounts! For the first time, I was able to get one through Safari on my iPhone. Thanks Santa Woot!

All total 3 Christmas Burgandy Olfactory Center for 2011 in this household.

Reading really is fundamental. 3 Burgandy Olfactory Center in my househould, because we ALL read, not just nerdraged!

Got to the order page, and hit the "Buy It" button and...503. Refreshed for 30 minutes, had to go back and do it all over again.

12:33am, Christmas 2011 got by Sack confirmation email. Merry Christmas and to all a good woot!

I'm guessing the servers got overloaded, and that it took a while to bring them back up. Once they were back up, things were very snappy. I, too, had submitted an order but had to start over when things were running again. I'm just glad I stuck with it, and didn't throw in the towel after 20 minutes of hoping one refresh might just take.

Computers were refreshing, left clicking with the mouse.
Some wooters were saddened by the smell of no crap,
But those wooters should read, instead of glancing at their woot app.
And although it took about a half hour or so,
Woot proved to be true under an amazon CEO.
So for those who read carefully, and clicked oh just right,
It's a merry christmas to all and to all a goodnight.

merry christmas!

QUALITY POST

You all are welcome, I gave up and stopped clogging up the interweb pipes for you all to get your loot! Merry Christmas!

!!! FINALLY !!! After years of trying I got my first Big Bad Santa's Sack!!!

Love how you had to read the description and click on the link inside it. AWESOME.

!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !!!

decorate you woot.. Dont think I am ever going to try for a Burgandy Olfactory Center ever again.. If all I get is server error after server error.. Then it is not worth my decorateing time to fight the millions of others for a Burgandy Olfactory Center. Thanks for nothing!

yes I knew where to click to get it..

Thanks for the advice and I did change it but you still have a pristine copy of it out there now.

I got my bag of coal in the first minute, but my wife had to use an "alternate server" to get hers.

Submit your craps to the Bag of Coal Tracker!

Figured out the link immediately and spent half an hour refreshing. Unfortunately no luck here again this year. Maybe next year.

Guess I missed it.

Had a "Your product has been reserved" screen, but it never cleared and now have no email and it's not in my purchases list.

Congrats to all who got one.

Cheers and Merry Christmas...

So is anyone ACTUALLY talking about the computer? ;-) I see it has a SSHD. What's the life-span on these bad boys?

Number 16 for me. Baby Jesus be praised.

Yes! After half an hour of Rampant refreshing I got a Sack!! Can't help but laugh at the first posters who gave up when they saw the laptop...

This is my 3rd crap, but only my first christmas haul

Definitely! A +1 to that sentiment.

With noting but server errors, I had given up hope of success, but kept trying anyway and after 30 minutes I suddenly got the order page and it went right through! Yeah! - My 2nd Burgandy Olfactory Center Merry Christmas everyone!

So...uh...is anyone buying the notebook? ;)

A merry wootmas, indeed! Hope Santa brings you some new servers this year...you've been pretty good in my book!

Im starting to really hate woot. I got all the way to the submit order on the Burgandy Olfactory Center and then the servers take a dump and i miss out...again!

The least they can do is move the actual order pages to new servers. Let the main want one page get busy, but if you're ready to submit, the damn servers shoulnt crach.

Needless to say, im a little pissed. Merry freakin Christmas!

Congrats to all the winners....I have been a really good boy this year, I think Santa's gonna bring me the lambo I've always wanted

firt year trying and got bag of canberries ;)

Alas, I lost.

The site kept erroring out, then when I gave them my order info it reset back a page several times and then sold out.

Maybe next time. I don't even have my last Burgandy Olfactory Center yet.

Wow you guys must be slow I got my confirmation at 12:01am! :p

THANKS Did not see that.

I didn't see the secret link until almost 10 minutes after the hour, then dozed off for a minute or 2 at least 3 times during the next 20 minutes, but my persistence finally paid off. What a crazy start to Xmas.

I don't know what's more awesome, scoring a Christmas Bag of Coal at 12:35, or watching the rants from those with poor reading comprehension.

I know how you feel. There was a time when I was hot, and was getting Burgandy Olfactory Center#39;s left and right. For a while now, however, I feel like I'm one of a million or more spermatozoa trying to get to one single, elusive egg...

Merry X-Mas! I almost fell for it woot, but thank goodness i wasn't to tired to read ;) Can't wait to get that bag o' coal! Hopefully it will be a great Christmas gift this year!

Thank you santa WOOT!!!!!!!!! Second Burgandy Olfactory Center ever just hope he also sends along a new f5 key.

Hey, Woot - thanks for the Santa bag and for the little twist to getting it. Definitely helped make our Christmas merrier.

Thanks Woot! Sorry F5.
Happy Whathaveyou to all you fellow Wooters.

Got Crap! Good Night!

First time to comment here... I had heard rumors of tonight's business of contemplation. I was through at 10pm. Only I didn't read. And my mom was sitting here with me- encouraging me to read. And I did not. I said, oh no, i must have just missed it. It must just not be happening tonight. And she to my left, after spending a day cooking, preparing, wrapping, smiling, stirring, strung out exhausted, knew what to do and I doubted. Finally saw it and sold out I saw too. Lessons learned, I guess. Don't doubt woot, don't question mom. Someday I'll get the Big Ole Curmugeon, but not this silent night. I can't sleep! Santa's coming!

My wife and I each were able to score the Santa Sack this year. Thanks WOOT!

Came home today from a vacation with GF and friends. Good times. On the way home had a flat tire. Bad times. Went out to sushi. Good times. Had argument with GF on Christmas eve. Bad times. Sat down at computer at 12:30 and realized I forgot about Christmas Burgandy Olfactory Center tradition. Bad times?

Hmm. A computer on Woot on Christmas. I don't "buy it". Bag spotted. Bag clicked. Bag 503'd. Bag reloaded. Bag clicked. Bag confirmed. I still believe in Santa.

I'm sorry to all that waited for 30 minutes, only to be denied. Sometimes luck is more important.

Finally got a Burgandy Olfactory Center Funny thing though the PCs wheels just kept spining so I thought I would try the iPhone. Click the link, the I Want One, and the confirm and get the email. I look at the Microsoft PC and it says sold out. Now wishing I bought that Mac that was on yesterday.

Got mine!

After missing last Christmas for the 1st time. About 10 minutes into it, I figure I was out again. But after 30 minutes of trying I scored my 5 Christmas Crap.

Have a Craptastic Christmas!

Got one in 2008 which was awesome because one items was a set of John Daly golf clubs. Got another in April 2011 that wasn't that good, but came with an almost working keyboard. Hoping for something good this time! I've been a really good girl Santa Woot!

503 Service not available for a half an hour but they finally responded.

The Burgandy Olfactory Center was a bunch of $hit - I hit refresh every time it timed out for 45 minutes. Thanks for nothing Woot!
