Apple's iTunes Music Store has gone down and has been replaced with a black screen with the simple words:

Quote:

It's Showtime

The iTunes Store is being updated

Apple is widely expected to deliver an iTunes Movie service today at their media event.

Man that's early must be a big update.

someguy · Sep 12, 2006, 08:21 AM

Will we be able to watch this event live? How will coverage (if there will be any) be brought to us?

iTunes Music store now unavailable for me

I was kind of hoping to download the Colbert Report this morning. But seeing the "It's Showtime" screen definitely made me happy. I can wait.

Disney own/are part of Buena Vista - who make a shedload of movies.

Music-Man · Sep 12, 2006, 08:33 AM

For those who a little confused about Disney.

You'd have thought Apple could upload the new stuff to different servers then just switch them at the right time, are they trying to hype this up further!

It's called hype, my friend.

tvguru · Sep 12, 2006, 08:24 AM

For conformation the Canadian site is down. First I had the check connection mentioned above, then I tried again and got the message.

aswitcher · Sep 12, 2006, 08:25 AM

Ok iTunes Aus is same.

MacBoobsPro · Sep 12, 2006, 08:29 AM

So who is going to watch Snow White?

No... Bambi?

Or what about Lady and the Tramp?

I would. However, would this be a bad time to mention I've worked for Disney before?
