We're all old and too lazy to stay up and sort through a multi deal site. Lets do our one stop shopping on company time; 15-30 seconds to go meh and move on. meh can add up the wasted man hours over time or not.
Midnight Eastern launches greatly favor the west coast. Those of us in the east that have to get up very early for work don't have the luxury of staying up that late. Look at history, anything that was a really good deal would sell out quickly and the sales were heavily weighted toward the west. Please reconsider.
I used to live on the East Coast and could get quite worked up about how unfair this was toward the East Coasties, but now I live on the West Coast, so meh.
I'm on the east coast and actually don't mind the midnight start time (though I do like that this will be midnight eastern and not central). Things get a little busy for me during the day and I'm likely to lose track of time and forget to check the website. Around midnight, I'm winding down and have time to wait and check it.
I was East Coast until last year, and because I am a night owl, 1 am was not a big problem. I can see where it is for early risers who go to bed at a decent hour. Wordy way to say 11 pm eastern would get my vote.
I just want to know what the problem was with good old Central time. I suppose including the east coast is nice but ... oh well, it's an hour more convenient for me anyway!
midnight launches make @harrison more productive. Otherwise he'd just start drinking by lunch.
Nah, see, midnight launches let me drink in the morning and have time to sober up before the deal hits
Screw that! I'm drinking anyway. Cheers

Ooh! The complaining has started! If it launched at noon, someone would whine about being at work. Can't please everyone. :/

Another vote for a Noon start!! We all need our beauty sleep! Work is overrated anyway!
Maybe someone can write an app that pings the meh servers constantly looking for new sales and sends a notification to our iWatches when it changes.
I have no idea who would be good for that type of thing... @lichme
sorry @Thumperchick, I'm an android guy
@lichme well, get crackin on the android version of stalkmeh.

Might not be terrible to give the VMPs access an hour early so those of us who are super complainy on the east coast can get our beauty sleep.
:-)
I'd definitely like this- I'd settle for 11:30 pm EST honestly.

I'm surprised no-one has yet weighed in with suggesting midnight UTC yet, since that's during the afternoon/early evening for all four timezones...
