I find it staggering that something that has attracted national attention, with so many big name, class A retailers behind it has failed so badly.

The people running the site have known that a mass of traffic would be visiting the site at 7PM, and it has crashed under the load.

This is the equivalent of advertising a national sale and telling people to turn up at 7, and locking the doors. Unbelievable.
