Amazon is Down! - No redundancy while the shopping giant suffers a major outage

That's right kiddies!

Ask The Admin brought it to you first. Don't go knocking on Amazon's door today. Nobody will answer.

Could it be that the Shopping GIANT of the net doesn't even have server redundancy worked out right for itself?

Anybody out there know anything about this? Doesn't Amazon offer hosting services as well?
Hit us in the comments people. Any speculations? DOS Attack?
You tell us...

Hit the comments, aaaaaaand begin!

(Edit they are back up at 3:05pm... Maybe all the Admin's were out to lunch? Almost an hour down that has to cost some serious moolah!)

(Double Edit: 3:14 back down again...)

3:32 When you can get to the site
we have a pretty little note posted...

And now Rumors are flying that it is PS3 related here and here... Anyone?
