iTunes says It's Showtime

[razzmatazz]

Man I'm going to be at school while this is all going on. Hmm...time to play sick

 

[TheFreshPrince]

Japan store down too.

 

[ImNoSuperMan]

God. I m finding it harder and harder to concentrate on work. I wish I didnt have this MB sitting in my office

 

[tvguru]

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

Could be another speaker perhaps.

 

[conradzoo]

The Netherlands store is down too.

Just a broken link though. No Black screen.

 

[naquada]

UK is down

i just get a broken link from itunes and the apple site.. no black showtime screen.. but hey.. somethings happening!!

 

[mechamac]

Didn't Lion's Gate mention the movie store in some recent internal conference? I doubt we'll be seeing just the iTunes Disney & Pixar Movie Store today. Fewer studios than we might like, but I can't imagine they'd launch without, y'know, a couple movies for grownups.

 

[bob67]

usa/uk ...

german store is down too

 

[calculus]

Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis - great tune!

 

[MacBoobsPro]

Disney owns several studios that produce 'grown up' movies.

(Disney Companies: Disney, Touchstone, Hollywood, Miramax, Buena Vista, Pixar)

Japan store down too.

Ditto. But I get no black screen.

 

[aswitcher]

[jive]

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

 

[prady16]

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

Remember that when tv shows were first made available, there weren't many to choose from.
Even if it is just Disney right now, that along with new iPods is enough for this much hype, especially when they want the press before the holiday season.

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.

 

[netdog]

Can't wait

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

Same in the UK.

 

[Chimera]

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!

 

[LastLine]

why would they take the uk store down if there were not going to add movies for us here!! woohoo..

I'm still waiting for my TV Shows in the UK

 

[Music-Man]

For those who a little confused about Disney.

I'm still waiting for my TV Shows in the UK

If Corrie makes it into the store, then i'm leaving!! lol..

 

[j-huskisson]

They annoyed me this time.. I had 8 songs in my basket and i'm unable to purchase them - I can understand with an online store that delays something for at least 24 hours... but for an instant content delivery system it's rather annoying as a customer.

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Even the Norwegian iTunes store is down...

I didn't expect that, after the last couple of months controversies here...

Yeah. Steve, using is Powerbook G5, is here reading all these messages having a good laugh at all of our excitement.
