The "iTunes Store" is down
As of approximately 8:30 AM Eastern in the US, the "iTunes Store" (note that the word "music" has been omitted) is unavailable. Like many of you, I got the message pictured at right when I went from the main page to the TV Shows page and back again. Is anyone outside the US experiencing the same outage and/or message? Ooh, the anticipation builds. And now we wait.Thanks to everyone who sent this in.
Update: We're getting reports that the iTunes Store is unavailable in the UK, Norway, Italy, Germany, France, Denmark, Belgium, Sweden, Canada, Greece, Ireland, Japan, Australia, Portugal, The Netherlands, Hong Kong, Spain...whew! Could this mean movies for all?

So it's now the iTS. They should of kept the M and write Media rather then music.
iTunes Media Store. That would of been nice, but let's go for the iTunes Store.

Is it a little weird that it went down this early? I mean, normally the Apple.com Store isn't down until like 10-30 minutes before the keynote....
Of course, a complete redesign to incorporate movies could take a little longer I should suppose. Here's to hoping.

I wonder how many times the Apple guys practice these go lives for things on the iTS or the Apple Store or website.
