sux!

RS not showing right page

 

[Goldy]

They are both totally clogged now.

 

[Throrik]

Don't see why they couldn't have done it through like an Amazon shop or something.

 

[Cob]

Just got to the end of RS's registering page before it crashed again.

 

[dfarrall]

Thanks for the farewell link, I'm getting somewhere.

RS site seems to not be working, I can't get either page up at the moment.

 

[gizmoy2k]

No way is this even on RS yet for sale, just that register page and nothing else

 

[dfarrall]

Argh no price was found, failed to add to basket.
Looks like RS didn't actually know they were meant to be selling today. They tweeted about pre-reg earlier.

 

[Bigsy]

Why oh why did I get up? I knew this would be total fail...

 

[Reza86]

Wish I'd slept the extra hour, this was face palm!

It sounds like using a raspberry pi as a server may not be a fantastic idea.

 

[visibleman]

Complete shambles in how this is being handled, especially as Farnell/RS aren't and were never capable of dealing with this amount of traffic.
Apparently Farnell has 'sold out'

 

[gizmoy2k]

tweet "We believe Farnell has sold out already. Blimey"

HOW ???

 

[Digital]

Jebus! Latest tweet from Raspberry Pi

"We believe Farnell has sold out already. Blimey."

Amazing when the Pre-Order button did nothing!

 

[Bigsy]

They tweeted that Farnell have sold out?!!? How the hell is that even possible?!?!

 

[vanandjuanunited]

According to twitter farnell has sold out already
If you get the register page for rs its the wrong page

Wish I'd slept the extra hour, this was face palm!

Im usually up at 6.30, slept an extra 1 hour actually to wake up at 5.30

TBH, the R-Pi gang have cocked it up.

Interest is amazing, but another ****-up like this will see me loose interest

I have no idea how, the pre-order button just gave me an error when adding to basket.

You can't say you didn't see this coming? it happens at any major launch that has millions interested.
