could not log into their Amazon account.

game console
led to the disruption of the Amazon site.
I already knew that it would be a miracle today to actually get hold of a # PS5.
But the #amazon instantly down at 1:00 p.m. surprised me.

Amazon currently has a huge malfunction shortly before Black Friday - page often does not work
The sales start for the
PlayStation 5
should be on Thursday, November 19th, 2020 at 1 p.m.
Many fans have been waiting eagerly for the new game console from Sony for years.
The demand for the new PlayStation is probably correspondingly high.
The disruption comes just before
Black Friday
in about a week.

disruption
at
Amazon
and the sale of the PlayStation 5 could be related.

not available
on the
Amazon site
.
The following regions are particularly affected by the disorder:
Berlin
Hamburg
Cologne and Düsseldorf in North Rhine-Westphalia
A map from allestören.de shows which regions are particularly affected.
In Germany, the regions around Berlin, Hamburg and in North Rhine-Westphalia around Cologne and Düsseldorf are particularly
affected
by the

.
But other regions in Europe are also affected, especially the regions around Paris and London.
