What I always disliked about the PPO's, is that if you look closely you'll see that the timer on the PPO page refreshes in a 40 second cycle. So, from the moment you see the count down clock, you know when the PPO for you effectively is going to start. What I'm saying is that when for instance the clock on the streamline page shows 09:59:40, the PPO page will not show the slightest inclination of refreshing until 40 seconds later, which then is 20 seconds AFTER the official PPO time. And then is also takes a few seconds for the order page to actually appear. That makes me believe that the order page is not available for everybody at the same time, which gives some people a head start of course. I think it becomes available to everybody within a 40 second window though. But on days like today, every second counts. Keep an eye on that during the next PPO.
It's something I have noticed on several PPO's. Either that, or the clock on SSC's streamline page and the one on my CPU are horribly out of sync.
You should always manually refresh when Sideshow's clock gets about 20 seconds out. Never count on your comp's clock for any PPOs.
I wonder when sideshow will email the people on the wait list. I really hope they send me an email soon. How many do you guys think are left in their warehouse for the waitlisters?
I'd say not until after SDCC.
