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

Twitter

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

Twitter

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.
