Did someone say "cloud" and "streaming"?

This would explain why Netflix failed to load on my 360 earlier...

Sounds like an issue with Amazon's EC2 system has put Netflix and Instagram (among others) out of commission. To those saying, "but who cares on a Friday night?" this could just as easily happen in the middle of the day on a weekday or any other time.

No doubt that cloud computing and streaming are the future. For now? The cloud and streaming are supplements for my HDDs and physical media, and no way I'm relying solely on it given bandwidth limits and other BS.

Weird, was watching Netflix last night with 0 issues. Guess we got lucky...
