I got on very very briefly a few minutes ago - it took me to the main index, I clicked into the 'Toys' section (or some such) and... crashed again.

They should have called it "The sale that stops our website" instead.
Ensuring server load balancing is like one of the first key considerations when it comes to technical infrastructure planning for a website....
Similar thing happened last week when every Year 8 student in NSW took the ESSA test online. *sigh*
Well, as the news just said - the site crashed even before it could officially go full throttle. Why am I not surprised!?

I just went there for the first time tonight and all there is is a small line of text at the top of the page that says "Service not Available." Not surprised.

the developer never tested if it could really handle the traffic
All hype. What's funny is that their fb page is saying that it's not true and thousands are saving money.

I'll put my faith in Facebook to hold up thanks for the link.
I do feel a bit bad for the team behind the website who'll be going through pain. I've had a website fail under unexpected pressure before and that's a bad feeling. Guess the interest was bigger than they expected. Probably because a lot of people who were casually interested never registered.

Edit: And I collect Cyberverse stuff and I wouldn't buy that piece of sh-t.
