I can't help but laugh. :D

On a side not I had to ask my Aussie flat-mates where the Gong was. The Gong is defiantly easier to say. ;)

I reckon Wool-on-gong (spelt Wollongong) is waaay easier to say than Okanagan or Saskatchewan. And yes, I say Saskatchewan properly.
 
Same Here

Can't wait :D

The Australian store is claiming that the store is busy or to check my connection :confused:

Ditto for the UK iTunes Store :rolleyes:

I just came here to post this info. I'll include the image in my post. Too bad it doesn't list a price. Looks like the rumors of it ONLY including Disney movies are wrong.

It's just a vicious circle. :eek:

I can't imagine why Apple would have an event like this if there was going to be only Disney content available.

Especially, if they don't have better prices or selection than the Amazon store released last week. Also, if they don't offer renting they are crazy. Who will buy a movie for $14.99 off of the internet without the media? I have actually rented a movie from the Unbox store and despite a crappy UI, problems starting the download, and having to use an S-video cable to connect my laptop to the TV, I found the experience better than expected. 90minutes downloaded in 1.5 hours and available to stream in 25 minutes is more than acceptable for me.

Little over an hour south of Sydney.

Looks like I'm slowing the thread down a bit. Good, people need to stop and have a breath for a second.

Same thing is happening to the following sites:

* Denmark
* Italy
* Finland
* Netherlands
* Norway
* Sweden
 
My predictions:

1. iTunes Movie Store with Disney and Lion's Gate. Pixar film "Cars" available for download immediately ahead of DVD release! Movies are DVD quality, and cost $14.99 including a version playable on your iPod.

2. New iPods. Wide-screen iPod with 720x480 resolution, perfect for wide-screen DVD quality movies. Touch interface. New Nano's, all-metal casing, 4 colors, up to 8GB. All available starting today.

3. One more thing...Watching TV & Movies on the road is great, but where most people enjoy these things is on TV. New device. Streams movies to your TV from your Mac. Front Row interface, HDMI output, Apple remote. Also, Front Row 2.0. Not a WiFi device. Uses dedicated spectrum for quality. (8MB embedded Flash RAM cache allows films to stream uninterupted). New features, including movie and music purchases within the interface. Available for download today so you can upgrade your Home Theater Mac Mini.
 
Brand new, never-before seen news

Hey everyone, I just came to tell everyone I found out from a super secret source that there's a MEDIA EVENT TODAY!!! This is brand new exclusive news I just found out!! I wouldn't be surprised if the iTunes Music Store went down at some point, either. You heard it here first!

I won't bother to read the rest of the thread because I am sure I am the only one who has found out this information.

;) :p

I know people get really excited before Apple events, but people should still please make a quick check to see if something has been said one or a few hundred times first before posting.

Those are easier for me because I grew up with them. I can't even say the name of my street right in this country. :p Terowi, like what's that?

Anyways I degrees, this update better be for all stores since they are all down otherwise it'll be the first of a few disappointments of the evening.

Yes there will be disappointments we always shoot to high and feel cheated.

When you come across a bit of information that seems to point to some sort of confirmation to a rumor do you read 9 pages of threads or do you just post it? I scolled through real quick to see if the image had been posted and didn't see it. Lay off.
 
Chundles said:
Ergh, that page has been like that for about 2 years or more. So has mammals.org

Nothing to see, move along.

I hate threads like this, just constantly answering the same questions over and over because people won't read the thread.

Same with www.iphone.org
 
Front Row 2.0 would be cool (just because it needs to be quicker dammit!) but I assumed that would come with Leopard.
 
New Store Name?

Does anyone else think selling/running video in iTUNES is a little counter-intuitive?

Maybe with Disney coming on board it will be called iTOONS! ;)

Probably not. They'll release new nanos after the student rebate is over.

Just how bad were you expecting Unbox to be?

That's like saying despite my flight being delayed, the airline losing my luggage, and my hotel burning down, my vacation wasnt too bad...
 
Hi,

Steve Jobs here,

I know you are loyal fans of my company, but could you please stop flooding our servers as we are trying to update them.

If you could be so kind to relax, and breathe...meditate even.. all will be revealed in just over 3 hours time.

One more thing, I hear England will be announcing their Ashes cricket squad in a few minutes time, so please divert your attention there for a short while.

See you soon.

It wasn't at you personally, it's just that everyone just finished bashing that exact thing when your post showed up. Bad timing really. :)
