All the flags for the "new" iTMS are now no longer visible!

*insert excessive expletives here*

Hopefully its routine before upping the stores or they are just screwing with us!

We're there kids.



Snapped a few minutes ago. Some guy in Wangaratta managed to purchase a song with an Australian credit card. For $1.69. Well you know it couldn't be all good news!

Click on his name (Chris Howard) in this article if you want to believe.

Oh yeah, of course I clicked change store. And in answer to the next question, no.

well, looks like its definately on its way!

Plus, I love your signature... my dad used to sing that to me when I was a kid.... hours of hilarity ensued!

You must be excited. You're obviously paying no attention at all. Click on the name "Chris Howard" in the article linked above.

But I've got a better one now. Go to iTMS. Go up to the search box and select Power Search (it might work with other searches but that's what I tried). Search for something (something you know or is likely to be in iTMS). Voilá! That's Australian moolah. Tried to buy but because I haven't purchased before it sends me to review my info. First page that comes up is the Terms of Service except they're not up yet. When I click agree, it says "An error occurred. iTMS could not process your request please try again later."

I don't know if that's how some people have managed to buy songs already or not. If it is, they've either closed the hole or I haven't figured out the way round it yet. Somebody at AN reckons they've bought stuff too. Or it could just be the same guy from Wangaratta.

An Oz iTMS page is ready to fire up on apple.com.au too.

Soon. Very soon. I'm over the $1.69 thing already.

Yeah, sorry man... didnt read your post properly until after I posted the dumb-ass question..... did a quick rush job on the edit to save face but you had already seen my screw-up!

Your a gun mate... top find!!

Yeah, $1.69 is a bit steep but hell.... we have iTMS (almost!)

Looks like the powerseach is back to registering US amounts... tried it a few times and it shows up $0.99 now.....

The is definately some testing going on at Apple so it cant be far away now.

Im going to sleep..... IF I can sleep... its like Xmas!

But it looks like $16.99 is pretty standard for albums which isn't too shabby. Maybe a good thing not to get in. At appletalk.com.au some who did (including the Wangaratta guy!) have since had their accounts blocked. Grumpy Apple.

They seem to think the store's opening is going to be delayed (oh surely not! ) Didn't read the whole thread but some seem to be saying they think them slipping into the store cloak and dager style (they did it by the phobos page, forgot about that one) may be the cause. I find that a bit of a stretch though.

Edit: I'm still getting Oz prices

It's odd. My mate works for Next Byte here in Sydney and last night he went to the official Apple unveiling of Tiger. At the unveiling they also mentioned that overnight there would be PowerMac upgrades... but they never once mentioned the AusiTMS.

Which leaves me wondering why they wouldn't? It was only theie own resellers in the room. Surely they would give them the heads ujp less than 24 hours before it's launch. I can't help but feel like we are heading for a really disappointing day.

iDunno

Im beginning to think like you mate..... Its 2.30pm and nothing....

Was last night a dream?

Anyway, if Apple screws me again I will be looking around to recruit an unholy army to march on 1 Infinite Loop....

or my nearest Apple store if I cant afford the plane ticket



Are you IN?
