So I was interested in the dell black xbox one black friday bundle. I was online, logged in. Ready to go at about 250 pst (sale opened at 3). Was mashing F5 from 258-3something and... nothing. The price stayed it's value of ~470$, never dipping but also never going "out of stock" (you can still buy it at list price, showing they still have "stock" of it). I didn't know if maybe it glitched for me, or I was trying to access to wrong listing, so I pinged up chat support... que of almost 1000... So did a little digging and found that this issue didn't just happen to me.

This is pretty damn shameless on their part... and I was prepared to buy a tablet from them as well. Blame it on malice or incompetence, but I think dell's tactic of bait and switching their "doorbuster" is pretty damn poor. Good chance someone in the marketing dept loses their job over this (whether or not it was even their fault).
