The Amazon website was struggling with huge disruptions.
The sale of the new PlayStation 5 is probably responsible for this.
At
Amazon *
there was a massive malfunction today (November 19, 2020).
Many users can
not access
the
website
.
This is probably due to the launch of the new
PlayStation 5
.
Update from November 19, 2020, 4.30 p.m.:
The
Amazon
website is now regularly accessible again.
After massive disruptions from 1 p.m. onwards, it was possible to restore access to the website relatively quickly.
It can be assumed all the more that the disturbances were caused by an overload of the site.
From 1 p.m.,
the new
PlayStation 5
, which fans around the world have been waiting for,
could be ordered via
Amazon
.
The enormous demand has
obviously overloaded the Internet giant's
servers
.
The
game console
was sold out within a very short time.
Amazon
users and
game console
fans
exchange information
on the topic
on
and demonstrate plenty of humor.
However, there
is still no
official statement from
Amazon
on the disruptions.
No PS5.
But dog pictures.
After all.

One week before Black Friday: Huge disruption at Amazon across Europe - game console to blame?
First report from November 19, 2020, 1.30 p.m .:
Seattle - The
Amazon
website is currently struggling with huge disruptions.
As the website
allestören.de
reports, there have been considerable problems with use since around 1 p.m.
At 12:57, 1155 malfunction reports were received.
Most problems arise when the page is accessed.
Around 17 percent of users have problems logging in and around 2 percent when paying.
As a map of
Europe
published
by
allestören.de
shows,
problems
occur across Europe a week before Black Friday *.
However, Germany is particularly affected - especially
Berlin
and
Hamburg
.

Amazon: Massive disruptions to the website
The sales start of the new
PlayStation 5
is probably
responsible for the massive disruptions.
Amazon
is one of the dealers who sell the game console in Germany.
Sales should start at 1 p.m.
Many fans have been looking forward to the new game console from
Sony for
years
.
The demand is correspondingly high.
Many users suspect a connection between the sale of the PlayStation 5 and the malfunctions - and take it with humor, as some
posts show.
I already knew that it would be a miracle today to actually get hold of a # PS5.
But the #amazon instantly down at 1 p.m. on the dot surprised me.
