Please stop jumping to conclusions as to what caused amazon to go down. The evidence is pointing to a dns attacker.

your "update" with conjecture that it's DNS based is really, really uninformed.

try your "whois" test with microsoft.com or apple.com ... it's the same thing.

your awareness of how the version of the "whois" command operates is the only thing that's been compromised


It is not my conjecture. I'm merely reporting information as I find it.

In regards to dns and pinging, it can often yield varying results as the information is cached on various servers. 


He was reporting too.

That's a comment on the page you link to.

@YoppaDo

did PS2 games have marketing??

I didn't see much then either..TBH

FF10 n GT 4 commercials were the main ones I saw

Not so much just the games, I think they marketed the console itself a lot more then. Only Ratchet, Uncharted and GT5 have I ever seen adverts for here, and they never seemed to have good time slots.

I still can't get on to amazon to see the bestsellers :(

 Just to clarify, this is the black PS3 bundle and not the gunmetal, yes? It's quite surprising there is such limited stock for that.



@YoppaDo

yup not the gun-metal

80GB coming back = BC coming back that may have something to do with it..

I think PS3 is marketed well here....the console but no games are shown



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

It's back up again, it's really is sales rank 8. my scripts not bwork!



no it keeps going down.....n they've taken the bundle of the site!

I sold out of all of my copies of Resident Evil Zero via ebay! I had all of 1 in stock. It must be making a major comeback in sales.

Just making a point that until sales numbers roll through, this news has nothing firm to base the sales on. I don't doubt that MGS will sell a few HUNDRED thousand at launch, but give us some stats. After all, that's what this site is all about. =)



btw, you do know that whois sometimes is cached up to 24 hours, right? a raw ping would work much better to prove a point of server availability.

Just as I predicted, so very very long ago......... *in my very first post, no less!

So clearly there is a demand for the Bundle, but we don´t know the stock number, so any conjeture right now is a baseless one... lets wait for more info before jumping on the "Sony Domination Begins" State...
