NewEgg Drops The Ball, Gamestop Saves The Day. Wait: Gamestop?

Two months ago, Nathan took advantage of a Newegg promotion for $10 off his pre-order of the collector's edition of the game Dark Souls, which was released on Tuesday. Ordering ahead and getting a discount: points for planning and for shopping prowess. The day before the game was to be released, Newegg (and other retailers, Nathan later learned) had to cancel their pre-orders because they just didn't have enough product. This left him without a collector's edition on release day...unless he could find one in his city, in person. Was such a feat possible? Yes, as it turns out, with some luck and the help of a heroic Gamestop employee. More »

Newegg Knows What Women Really Want This Valentine's Day: Sexism
By Laura Northrup on February 11, 2011 9:30 AM

This Valentine's Day gift suggestion list from Newegg has a "Cutie and the Geek" theme, featuring gifts ostensibly for a Newegg shopper, his wife or girlfriend, and gifts that the entire couple can use. Sample items from the "cutie" section: red freshwater pearls, Ralph Lauren sunglasses, and a pink netbook. Sample items from the "geek" section: an electric razor, a 120 GB solid state drive, and a home server. Cary finds the selection a bit sexist, writing: "Great piece of marketing work. I guess women aren't allowed to enjoy geeky toys and instead need 'pink netbooks' or jewelery as gifts." More »

Imagine it: you're trying to patch things up with an estranged parent, and send a thoughtful gift for their birthday. You pay more than $50 for overnight shipping, and wait for the gift to arrive. Only 48 hours later, the item hasn't even shipped yet, while an identical item headed for another recipient, sent using standard shipping, has already shipped. What? That's what reader Janet writes happened to her when she ordered a coffee machine from Newegg for her mother's birthday. More »
