I'm guessing the China store is run differently from the other stores. Maybe products need to be screened differently before they're sold in China?

Either way, Philippine store is still down. So is the US one.
 
But seriously, what can take two hours to set up? Is the Apple Store running on a Mac Mini Server?
 
I couldn't wait any more. I just went out and bought a base 13 inch macbook pro.

All you guys are suckers for waiting!






Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
 
Hahaha no doubt the Apple website is being hammered to kingdom come.

Steve Jobs......DO YOU GET THE HINT NOW?!
 
maybe only minutes now to the moment of truth...
the store went down approx. 12:30 CET, maybe up again at 14:30 CET (=13:30 GMT)?
 
LOL just imagine how disappointing it would be if the MBP didn't get refreshed today. With this much anticipation, it's almost gauranteed to be updated
 
I wonder why this kind of outage isn't pulled at around 5am UK time. Meaning no daytime downtime for Euro customers and most Americans would be tucked up in bed.

Then again, maybe Apple makes loads of cash out of drunk Americans logging in at 1am EST. :)
