I went through the "Silver Premium" sale nightmare as well. I really wanted the Asus Transformer for $249, but they sold out in the first five minutes. The web site was loading so slow, that by the time my browser refreshed, they had a message that they were "sold out online". I never had a chance.
The web site stayed excruciatingly slow most of the day. I went ahead and purchased a Toshiba Thrive for 279$, figuring I can return it if I get the Asus at the true Black Friday sale on Friday (Thursday night). But it took a couple of hours to get the transaction to go through, I was adding a Nook Tablet to my order (not on sale) and the web site just crawled along at a snail's pace.
In any case, I think I'll be satisfied with the Thrive - it's a Christmas gift for my middle-school daughter. It actually has better specs than my iPad (1st gen) except for the storage which can be upgraded with an SD card.
