It wasn't cached, but it's not working now.

It is odd for a major online store, let alone THE major online store, to be completely down for this long. You'd assume they have redundancy on top of redundancy to prevent a complete outage like this from happening for more than a moment. Wonder what's up.

If their load balancers/global content site selectors were hosed you could get a HTTP 503 like what we're seeing.

-edit-
HTTPS/443 seems to be working.

I was one of them refreshing at 9:59am and I still wasn't able to get it. I think i should have cleared my cache beforehand. Dang. :|

I doubt it, that deal they did for 1000(?) super-cheap XBOX's last year was huge, it was all over digg, forums etc... Today would be for a limited edition console which costs more than usual IIRC. I can't see the demand being equal.

 

[JACKHAMMER]

it's up!

 

[Zim Hosein]

I'm not having an issue surfing their site, it's slow, but that's business as usual

It went down minutes after the bundle went up.

In that case Sony should be very happy and Amazon should get slapped wrists
