    Ordered one, thanks OP.

  • plasmapuff on 07/12/2013 - 09:28

    Haha why not? Once they release the SDK hopefully we can stream anything with it :)

        Firstly it will be porn.
        And then anything else developers choose to develop for it.

    $10 AUD with the $5 credit from the last screw up. Hopefully after this screws up, I'll get another $5 credit and the original one back.

  • Aster on 07/12/2013 - 09:28

    I've ordered one as well, time to see if its honoured or not

    • Aster on 09/12/2013 - 09:08

      Order cancelled, I assume all the Chromecast's sold at the lower price were cancelled.

  • ash2000 on 07/12/2013 - 09:29

    Fingers Crossed.

    It is limited to 1 unit per person, so there is some faint hope that it could be a genuine special deal.

  • raj76 on 07/12/2013 - 09:30

    ordered one myself

  • scrimshaw on 07/12/2013 - 09:32

    Awesome. First thing I'll do is probably load PwnedCast on it. Note PwnCast will only work on a Chromecast that hasn't been setup yet.

  • donga100 on 07/12/2013 - 09:33

    Check this post before you order. Should be able to get it a bit cheaper and another free product.

  • freakitude on 07/12/2013 - 09:33

        Brick007123 had originally neg'd that deal, that's why I was less than conciliatory in my comment above. He's subsequently retracted it

      Yeah, selling an item very cheaply at limited stock is a bad bad thing. They should be ashamed of their greedyness that they showed because they never got a $40 item even cheaper than they wanted…

    I wouldn't classify it as a 'deal' if its available for less than an hour, which was the case. Same as clearance stock of anything at a shop where only a select few can get in on the action…

      I agree, insufficient. There's 11 bottles of 2L SOLO for $1.50 each on clearance at my local IGA, but i wouldn't waste time posting if its not going to be avaialble 1hr later or at other IGA's. Still, there's a handful of people whomanaged to enjoy this in the first 30 minutes and did well for themselves. Pitty most; or most after 10 cant enjoy it

       I wouldn't classify it as a 'deal' if its available for less than an hour

      Dumb comment.

      Are you saying the OP should have contacted the seller, asked how much stock they had, then tried to calculate how long it would last for, and then only posted the deal if he could guarantee they would last 60 mins or more?

      You snooze, you lose. Get over it.

  • ironworthy on 07/12/2013 - 10:55

      Except your comment above wasn't valid or sound - it was stupid. How the heck was the OP supposed to know that the stock was only going to last for half an hour at the original price? Not to mention that it was still a good price all the way up until it was sold out. Nearly 4000 click-throughs to the item page suggests that quite a lot were sold and quite a lot of people got a deal.

      It was the most ridiculous excuse ever to cancel a customer's order.
      If they can't source stock, how can they explain the huge discount they implemented when they didnt even have stock.
