bluehash 1,581 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Yes.. looks like it was hastily put up. But none of it matters if they give away kits at good rates. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubnet 238 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 It is also referenced on TI's Facebook page along with the first item to be discounted: http://www.facebook.com/pages/TI-Microcontrollers/146834707997 oPossum, zborgerd and bluehash 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cde 334 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I know it hasn't officially launched yet, but the site looks like crap. Did someone's 3yr old load up their Fisher Price "My First Wordpress Blog"? RobG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EngIP 31 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Has the timer reset itself? I'm sure when I looked 8 hours ago it had 12 hours to go - now it has 19?! I'm dying to get a second Chronos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oPossum 1,083 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 It did change. Was set to end tonight at midnight EST, now set to expire at 4:30 PM EST tomorrow. EngIP 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Anyone know if it's US only? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EngIP 31 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 It just issues a promo code for the Estore, so it's worldwide (well, as far as the Estore is worldwide). Just ordered mine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Let the feeding frenzy begin! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 This may be late. Chronos at 50%. Its live now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 It just issues a promo code for the Estore, so it's worldwide (well, as far as the Estore is worldwide). Free international shipping! Ordered one too, even though it seems like one of those things that you play with, write a "proof of concept" app and then never use again. zeke 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
