The outage affected subscribers in Canada, Latin America, and the United States.<br /> <br /> According to Netflix, the fault belongs to <a href="http://hothardware.com/Tags/amazon.aspx">Amazon</a> and its Web Services&#39; <a href="http://hothardware.com/Tags/cloud.aspx">cloud computing</a> center in Virginia, <em>Reuters</em> reports. An outage at that location began around 12:30 PM PST on Monday and wasn&#39;t fully restored until sometime before 8:00 AM PST Tuesday morning, though Netflix says the majority of its subscribers had regained access by 11:00 PM PST on Monday.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Netflix" src="http://hothardware.com/newsimages/Item23832/Netflix.jpg" /> </div> <br /> "We are investigating exactly what happened and how it could have been prevented," Netflix spokesman Joris Evers said in a statement. "We are happy that the people opening gifts of Netflix or Netflix capable devices can watch TV shows and movies and apologize for any inconvenience caused last night."<br /> <br /> Amazon had no comment on the outage.</div><div class="newsTextBody" id="dvBody"></div><div class="newsText" id="dvComment"></div>
