Catch Of The Day Pressure Cooker Has Great Savings (If It Works)
Fancy a Wii or Nintendo DS Lite for half price? How about an Eee PC for $199? Then you should probably spend your lunch break today glued to Catch Of The Day.
Starting at midday today, the online deal site has 100 Wii consoles up for $199, 100 Red Mario Nintendo DS Lites, and 2000 Eee PCs, plus eight other mystery products up for grabs. Those numbers mean that stocks are going to fly off shelves, and if the last time COTD had a big sale is anything to go by, you should probably prepare yourself for disappointment.
Still, if you do manage to pick up one of these bargains, all the frustration will be worth it…
You need to be a member to be eligible for the deals as well, so you should probably sign up now if you want a chance in hell of getting through.

Hang on…why did the EEE go on sale at 11:30?
All Day, time now 9.50pm. Mana.ged to snag a eee but that was luck only. It did start at 11.30. Also got a camera. Totally mystified by their tactics. The overloaded rubbish is just a con. The other thing Mario whatever was gone before it ever was. No more for me. Con, Con, Con
The Asus eee showed up first at about 11:45
Refreshed every minute and the site is busted at 12:02.
It stopped working a few minutes before 12 for me…shame, a cut-price Wii would’ve been a good deal. You’d think they would have implemented a more capable website after the last time…
Has anyone else had any luck?
I’m a bit tempted by the EEE PC, but I’m still not sold on the whole netbook thing. However, if I manage to get on when the DS is on sale, I’m grabbing it.
I was tempted by the EEE PC but was only a 7″ screen – far too small – gotta be 10″ at least….
Well… item 2 was a total let down.
Item 3 was no better and it was free…
Yep… that one didn’t even warrant a mention.
So is item 3. Sheedy DVD Trivia game. Woo!
Amazing, I was on the site waiting for the next product and as soon as the time was up I was booted from the site as in “Sorry Site Full”. What’s the poimt of even bothering with it. I just wasted my time. Never again.
FBWB5254.
NO Wii FOR YOU! New it was too good to be true.
Been constantly refreshing for 20 minutes…finally get through to see “temptation interactive dvd game”…
If the ds is the 5pm release I will shit bricks.
http://twitter.com/todayscatch save playing around with their site, they put the products on there when they go live. no refreshing!
Well I scored the DS .. just gotta try for the wii
Fucking bullshit. Had a Wii in the cart, done the PayPal login, confirmed shipping, then it crashed when I hit “confirm”.
Had a Wii but let it slip by choosing to pay by PayPay. COTD’s busy server wouldn’t let me back in to finish checkout. Countless refreshes only to be told Sold Out & to remove item from my shopping cart. Not Happy !!!
What a waste of time… I tried for the DS and the Wii but just couldn’t connect as the server is overloaded. By the time I did the items were sold out :(
Try to connect to web on time and click it as soon as it goes up on time.
Always failed saying that it has been overloaded.
Just imagine that how come in 2 or 3 min the items sold out if the other user also experience the same lag when connecting to web (try it with 4 other friend have the same response).
My question is, have they ever sell the real thing or it is just only trick to cheat people?
This would have to be one of the biggest cons I have come across. Every time there is something worth getting the server crashers. My children and I have been on the site all day for the 2nd time to try and score a Nintendo Wii for $199.00 but I am sure they only have one on offer or none at all. To think that I was given a credit from a dodgy vacuum cleaner from Daily Deals and then they wouldn’t refund my money and said they would give me a credit on this site. So looks like I will never see that happening.
Dont bother, very very poor service, impossible to connect. Never heard of anyone succeed in purchasing from the pressure cooker. check other ppl review – most ppl dissapointed.
