The agony of defeat

I tried to sign-up today for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Public Beta, aka COD4 without much success. Before downloading the game from XBox Live you had to get a token code from the site starting at 3:00 PM EST today. I knew there was troubles ahead when the site started to slow down dramatically at 2:30. Since 2:55 that's all I've been getting:


In other words: It's down. Which left me wondering, who gets through on this kind of things and why? Oh well...

Update: After being down for over an hour, Activision finally decided to forward the registration page to the maintenance page. Bleh!
