Thats right, Amazon.com officially, temporarily, met it's bandwidth limit due to how many people accessed the site to pre-order MSG4. If you dont believe me check Alexa for the amount of hits Amazon received and to which page. lol

^I know, Amazon's servers are about 1/10 of Youtube.com's server strength which is about 1/1000 of Google's servers.
