Flash MX unavailable!

Ok, not really unavailable, but just not through their online store right now.

I get the go-ahead to order Flash MX, I head over to Macromedia's site, and I see this:

Due to an overwhelming demand for Macromedia Flash MX, we are currently experiencing delays at our store. Please return later or call the Macromedia Order Center at 800-457-1774 or (425) 222-3201.

Wow, that is nuts.

Is it really that wonderful that everyone has to have it the day it comes out? I thought it didn't add that much new stuff.

It doesn't.

I was on flash IRC last night and i counted 12 ppl ready to order. One guy had a countdown to it......that really is sad...

Edit: I think most people should download the new player, a lot of yobbows will be making big sites exclusively for MX.

Psh, if somebody else is going to pay for me to get it, why wouldn't I?

If I gave you my credit card and told you to order it for yourself, wouldn't you?

Hell yes i would, but c'mon, a countdown for christ's sake! Sorry, but you're sad if you think that's not sad.

I'm not saying the countdown isn't sad, but I was just defending myself from Deker's comment about everyone getting it the day it comes out.


BTW: 11:30 AM and the store is still down.

I think I may just call in and order it.

I think they've added quite a bit of new stuff myself. And some useful stuff at that.

I was just under the impression that it wasn't that great. But if someone used it more than me, then i'm sure they would need it. I wasn't trying to put anyone down. I would buy it too if I used it. Love all around.

I downloaded the new flash player, but nothing spectacular happened. I expected it to make me a sandwich or something.

hey deker im a banana too !!!
