Amazon.com Unreachable Yesterday

...if for only about 15 minutes. Still, the web giant was doing a promo for the Xbox 360 core system and selling 1000 units for $100 (less than half off) and totally underestimated the traffic this would induce. Amazon.com was unreachable not only on the sale page, but throughout the entire site. This includes people that were currently on the site and maybe trying to check out at the time. OOOPS.

I witnessed it firsthand because I also was trying to get one of these, but alas, it was not to be. *shakes fist in air*
