The Santa CLAW! Live Claw Machine - Crane Game!

Remember those claw machines that steal your money and give no prizes? Well, here's a better one!! http://www.thesantaclaw.com/ The Santa Claw! Once you register you will get in line (lines have been very long!!) and you control the machine over your computer. If you win a prize, they ship it to you free. And the claw machine is MASSIVE!! It is more than human size and has a live video feed to show you what is going on. Enjoy!!

That has to be one of the most screwed up things I've seen!

 

Anyone here won anything yet???

Pretty cool, but I'm not waiting 430 minutes just to win a ball

This idea is WIN! I just had to sign up...

 

^Hey, I saw you a couple minutes ago!

I had a 413 minute wait and decided that sleep was more important.

This is so incredibly stupid......and brilliant. I love it.

I'm down to 252 minutes

That has to be one of the most screwed up things I've seen!

 

Anyone here won anything yet???

 

While I haven't personally won anything I have seen a few people win, so it definitely is possible!

 

Pretty cool, but I'm not waiting 430 minutes just to win a ball

 

The balls are just to make the game easier, the prizes are inside of them. In the prize info it says, "Don't get too attached to the giant plastic bubble, we recycle 'em," so maybe you're supposed to send them back?

 

I wonder if you'll even end up with the same prize you won. If you see someone win the balls just fall out of the machine and into a pile on the floor, seems like it would be hard to give everyone what they won, especially with so many of the balls being the same.

I just saw someone win! I'm very surprised actually

 

EDIT: Two people just won in a row!

^You really have this game all worked out!

 

This is utterly mesmerizing. Although I must admit the claw mechanism freaks me out.

 

I think I'll have to go ahead & set my alarm, this seems like too much cheap entertainment to miss out on just for sleep. 250 minutes!

This is awesome! Going to try it out! 324 minutes left, and RCdude was next to me in line!

This game looks quite interesting. I used to be really good at these in real life, but I wonder how I'll do on this. I've got a place in line (as stated above) so hopefully I'll remember to set my alarm. If I forget or sleep through it, I'll be sure to get back in line when I get up tomorrow.

I waited in line for 2 hours and grabbed one on the first try. I'll let everyone know what I received in 2-3 weeks when it is expected to be delivered.

I'm just pissed that I can't play it because i'm from Australia

You can play, you just can't win any prizes

This is awesome! Going to try it out! 324 minutes left, and RCdude was next to me in line!

hahaha its being taken over by TPR. When i was on, i was next to Aceospades!

This is really messed up! Went ahead and got in line...only 419 minutes to go!

This looks kinda fun! It tells me that there are over 500 people waiting though.....I also believe that sleep is more important!

It's telling me that there are over 500 people in line and to try back later. It's not letting me reserve a spot or anything.

^ Just keep trying, I kept doing it right after someones turn was done watching the live stream. The wait is 8 hours once you're in though.

I'm at 202 minutes...there must be some people dropping out!

^I'm at 215 minutes so I'm catching up to you.

Did anyone else think of the movie Liar, Liar when they saw this title??

I don't think the video I'm seeing is "live," because it looks exactly the same as it did two hours ago, and every time the claw moves it does the exact same motions and goes for the same prize. Something's not right.

I just watched four turns of the claw and it was different stuff, plus the case looks like stuff has moved around. Interested to see what happens when it's my turn, 73 minutes to go!
