Amazon’s servers ground to a halt Monday after the website offered digital downloads of Lady Gaga’s new album, Born This Way, for 99 cents. Users who purchased the album were unable to download the tracks, but Amazon assured them they’ll still be had for 99 cents. Reviews of the album on Amazon were largely negative, due to complaints about the slow download times. The price of Born This Way went up to $6.99 Tuesday—still cheaper than the $11.99 price tag on iTunes.
