It's a shame that there has been only a quick one-sentence email from Amazon playing big brother and sticking up for Digital Media Source saying order was cancelled.

Forgive me for thinking there was a deal to be had on, of all days, Black Friday. I am so utterly stupid to think that a company might be selling an item at a ridiculously enticing price. It would be asinine for a company try to increase hits to their website by offering an out-of-control deal on an item. Accept my apology for obviously (yes, you did spell obviously wrong in your formal business semi-apology/blame-Amazon letter) not being a rational buyer (also, please forgive the other 1749 buyers)! I mean Ebay is selling Corvettes, digital cameras, golf club sets, plasma tvs... for $1 with FREE SHIPPING - $1 must be the fair-market value of those items because, according to you, selling something for less than it costs to buy would be unheard of, right?!?!?!?!? <br /> <br />Sorry for all of this - I hate the blame game. Someone needs to step-up and apologize and say "It was my fault" and not blame others and then blame the customer for being stupid enough to try and buy an item at an unbelievable price. <br />If it is Amazon's fault then we'll await their statement but if it's Gene's fault then stop blaming Amazon and the customer. <br />Oh, and one more thing: Tools--> Spelling and Grammar. It works wonders! Rating: 5 / 5 I already have one of these and they are fantastic with tons of storage for videos, pics. . . . Also, I paid alot more than $0.01 for my original drive.

Today, following the supposed apology/explanation/blame from Gene at Digital Media Source, I write:
