Over 20x timeouts between three of us for PS3 version. Had two pc's at my office going. My first purchase locked up at 1pm EST, then errored out after three minutes of churning. I finally got through two of my six tries and it was removed from my cart both times. Finally received the "service is unavailable" message.
Buddies didn't get past selecting sign in after the game was added to their carts. They had 4 computers going.
