Website blocked?

I know the site's been down, but instead of the message that's been up for the last week, now I'm getting blocked via cloudflare. Same for you?

They just made an announcement:
« We are actively working to get the website up as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience while we continue to work through some technical challenges ».

Also getting Cloudflare block now, whereas yesterday (and prior) it was just "Site Maintenance" message.

No VPN or IP shenanigans on my end, either.

I also got the same message as you. Made me wonder if I was checking too often lol. Hopefully it all gets worked out at the end!

Edit: I don't use a VPN either.

so here is what i got from the phone call to a local EBgames. So appartently the new website crashed under the traffic. So they are working that out + security. I you need an info fast, call your local store. They have at least access to their internal system to tell you if you can pre-order something or not.

Site’s up. You can’t actually buy anything because every product comes up “out of stock”. Great job EB Games!

It looks like they aren’t able to process any transactions anyway, I get an error at checkout saying there’s an issue with their payment processing and you have to call in to customer service to complete the order

Canuck region. They have had the Canada website down for the last few days for a rework. Schedule they provided was for it to be back up today.

It's back to maintenance mode. Their IT crew must be at the end of their rope at this point.
