Amazon crashes: Shares plummet.

As predicted, when the MGS4 80gb bundle went on sale on Amazon.com today, all stock sold out in 4 minutes, and the site crashed.

The site went down for an hour in several cities, and any calls to Amazon regarding the subject were not commented on or returned.

The crash had a knock on effect on not only Amazon's shares, but for it's main delivery company Akamai Technologies Inc's shares to drop aswell.

Amazon shares fell $3.63 (4.3 %) to $80.88 and Akamai shares were down $1.79 (4.6%) to $37.52.
