Hacking dealextreme down?

[mhkwong]

Hmm... is dealextreme down? I ordered loads of stuff from them the other night. I went there today to check the progress of my order.... it was working one minute and then Bam! the whole website is unreachable... i even used http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ to check the website too... but still no luck. Should i start panicking now?

DX is down for me too.

 

[Rayder]

just tried going there.....

.....I got this error:

Redirect Loop

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

The browser has stopped trying to retrieve the requested item. The site is redirecting the request in a way that will never complete.

Same here, my package just went to packaging yesterday.

Probably just them fixing bugs on the website?

Problem accessing the website with other browsers as well. Tried opera and IE with no luck.

This better not be Nintendo's doing. Sure DX sells flash carts, but they sell so much more. I'm waiting on a pair of ear buds from them right now (the kind that are supposed to block out outside noise).

Ok. i tried clearing my cache and cookies. disable cookies completely and enable cookies again... I still cant reach the website. I hope they are only having a few minor problems during an upgrade or something... Hope they come back soon and its nothing too serious then. Thanks for the tip Rayder. and thanks Diffusion for trying the website for me.

It's down. Well, as long as it comes back on soon, I don't care. I have to wait untill Christmas to order something anyway.

Im waiting for 2 flashcarts (add to my collection of flashcarts) a replacement shell for the NDS (my hinge broke again.. cant send it off to nintendo b'cos i've done so many things to it...) and pmp hdd case.




ok. i just checked the HTTP request and responce header... Rayder. you are right. DX seems to have set up a redirect on their website.

No. I don't think so. Nintendo can't tell China what to do, can it?

The site is hosted in the US though.

DX can swap severs... But it may take a bit of time if this it what it is.

 

[mhkwong]

ok. guess we just have to wait and see then. =.=!!

 

[golden]

Ya this is definitely nintendo's doing. Stock up on flashcarts soon because all these sites will be gone soon and flash carts prices will skyrocket as demand overwhelms quantity and even the cheapest things like DSTT will be $150+.

DX doesn't even sell the R4 they're after.
