How long do you think Motorola's Cyber-Monday Sale for the Moto X will last?

As of right now I am trying to check my saved designs with no luck. I can't access any of them. But I can design a new one and go through the check out process...so who knows. I hope it all works tomorrow.

Same here. Saved designs doesn't work.

my guess is 1 second, site doesn't work

I thought the Moto X would sell out fast and I thought there might be server issues but this is a cluster.

 

[Johnly]

What a fail. Hope they get online soon. I would hate to waste my entire day trying to save some dough.

Not looking good. Site slow. Price for 32 GB still listed for $549 at check out. Not to mention, I've been waiting over 10 days for the Moto credit card for the zero interest.

Sure! They may have to backorder some phones, and might not be shipped before Christmas ( although I doubt that), but I think the sale will last the whole day.

Ahem...where's my nickel??

Our website is down due to traffic & we're working quickly to restore it. Watch here for updates & for when our Cyber Monday deal starts.

They're still working on it.

Motorola is going to increase the number of devices available at the Cyber Monday price because of all the downtime -

Thanks for your patience, http://motomaker.com restored! Cyber Monday deal starts now & with 2X the number of MotoMaker devices available!

Over five hours since the sale was supposed to begin and Motorola still does not have a functioning website.

The fact that the Development Editions sold out so quickly and Motorola has promised to double the number of MotoMaker units available makes me think the "quantities are limited" verbiage was more than just a tease. The whole promotion, immediately after the first notification, has been handled poorly by Motorola. They had three or four days to get this right and yet it looks like they made zero effort to accommodate the surge in traffic their website was going to experience. **** poor planning in my opinion.

I can't believe this is a google company and they can't figure out how to handle a little bit of traffic. Tragic. Pretty sure they have enough money to pay for ecommerce consultants. Lol.

Haha! Not so fast... Someone had posted it started at 8am. And I did say "unless their website has problems".

I guess that there should have been a poll for "How long will it take for Motorola to fix their website after it crashes?".

No risk betting on a sure thang!

Heheh. You never know, they might have had their act together. And so far they're not saying the sale will be over at any set time before midnight.

But it's only half of the sale. We'll see how long it lasts on Monday!
