Should you buy a DVD player from a shoe company? I mean, I know the Warped Tour is great, but what about their DVD players.....

Looks like drpepper.com is hosed.

@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy->★: Har har. *throws rock*

@crashedpc: Sadly for a second, I thought he was serious......

Dr. Pepper site is overloaded

might just wanna throw in there that the 320gb external drive is a 2.5" so thats why its $110.

@nrich239: I seriously thought it was the Vans website at first and maybe they were selling some tech, like Hot Topic selling Xboxs.

@Gstein: A way to get it working: Copy the URL, and just make it '[]' instead of '[]'

Ignore the security cert warning. It is safe. The site loads much better.

@rpertusio: Oops, try this instead: [www.drpepper.com]

Dr. Pepper needs to get their crap together. They shouldn't go around promising something they can't provide. I've talked to 5 people today who have tried to get the free DP and can't.

I'll suck it up and call, but it's pretty cheap of them to make this so hard.

@LoveNoelG: It says that you will receive your coupon in 4-6 weeks after you sign up...

@rpertusio: seems ok now.

@Jamezspot: Yes, but they are making it impossible to sign up. Site freezes up and 888 number is busy.

anyone know of any $.01 items on amazon?

@LoveNoelG: When you press submit, if you let the site do it's business it'll load. Took about 5-10 minutes yesterday.

@LoveNoelG: um, it's a free soda. At some point you have to calculate the value of your time spent pursuing this deal and realize that maybe you've earned yourself a $5 soda.

While I appreciate that Dr Pepper extended their offer, it doesn't solve anything. The site is still overloaded and inaccessible and the toll-free number is still busy, just as it was the previous day. I emailed their customer service via the site's contact form yesterday requesting that the company honor their offer. It was a last ditch effort, but I hope it works.

@res ipsa pasta: This is a consumer website, so what if it is a 59 cent giveaway? It's the principle.

@LoveNoelG: But that's my point. it ceases to be a 59 cent giveaway (and thus a 'deal') if you have to spend 2 hours (?) of your time claiming the prize.

@azsumrg1rl: if you access the site with https instead of http, a la [www.drpepper.com] all works just fine.

FYI. Don't screw up and dial 1-888-drPEEPer.

Seriously

@rpertusio: And lo! a free Dr. Pepper should be on the way. Thanks for the link, it works.

Wal-Mart DS game offer == Crap

They're all bargain bin titles.

Might I suggest that the reason that Samsung is so cheap is that it's a 50" set with only 720p? If you're going to buy it, make sure you sit really far away from it.
