From the title I assumed Amazon was delivering military drones. If I saw one I'd not hesitate to jump on it and keep it on a chain in my loft where it cannot fly away.2013-12-02 12:34:00

This is why we can't have nice things.

If I don't get a "Supply delivery in your sector." kinda message in an ominous military tone I'm not interested.2013-12-02 22:17:00

This is why they raised the free shipping minimum? I would pay to see the meeting this was first pitched at...

"you want to do what with what?"

Scenario A: Order sunglasses and have them dropped from the sky and onto your face and ride away into the sunset on a motorcycle.

Scenario B: Order sunglasses and have then dropped from the sky and onto your face, forgetting that they're in a box, receiving a concussion and riding away into the sunset in an ambulance.

The delivery came 14 minutes before I woke up so I didn't see if it was a drone. And I don't have my delivery.

They aren't actually doing this yet, and it's only available if you live within ten miles of an amazon shipment place. They need to get all of the permits and stuff, and if all goes as planned they'll be able to use these drones in 2015.

Amazon drones hold parcels 5lbs or less. PS4 weighs too much for that.

If that's how they deliver, just think if you refuse to pay your bill. <shudder>
