The Future Shop Beat the Clock thread on RedFlagDeals.com isn’t a pretty place… basically FS is running a promo where they have a great deal at a specific time that they announce on Twitter.  There are only a few actually in stock at the promo price though and the flood of people they are sending at once is breaking their check out, which means a lot of people are getting their orders canceled.  I’m guessing the marketing folks didn’t give a heads up to the tech folks…  I wouldn’t want to be in their CS department right now.
