Uk store up yet?

 

[LyleLanley]

Damn you Apple store, why won't you work for me?

 

[Marty Chinn]

Just realized: iPad is the newer version, where as iPad 2 is last gen. That won't confuse people.

What do you call it next year?

 

[ZedIndyLil]

HNNNNNG

Cool! What country?

 

[Bowser]

What do you call it next year?

"The new iPad 2"

 

[The_Inquisitor]

I got in the phone queue via MAC like someone suggested. Crossing my fingers!

 

[Gamecocks625]

i got stuck on the accessories page...man

 

[Kosmo]

Anyone try the Apple Store App?

 

[cyberheater]

Uk store up yet?

Nope.

 

[LyleLanley]

Anyone try the Apple Store App?

I've been trying it and it's not working.

 

[mrklaw]

It was ok for an AppleTV2, but now it's awesome IMO. Show me another box out there that costs $99 and can run XBMC and video at 1080p.

is it more flexible on formats (eg MKV)? video playback was never really an issue for me, but the UI was just a bit limited. Still miles better than a basic WDTV etc though

 

[Chiggs]

So...my confirmation email just arrived with my salesperson's direct contact line.

Should I give this out?

 

[Chanser]

Stream is up: http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/123pibhargjknawdconwecown/event/index.html

 

[EarsOfASnake]

Nope.

Okay, still time to get home then, hold on 15mins!

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Anyone try the Apple Store App?

No dice.

STORE UP!

 

[lexi]

Cool! What country?

Australia.

XBMC is full XBMC on the AppleTV. It is more flexible on formats and it's completely skinnable. If you wanted you could overhaul the UI yourself just by configuring the XML files.

 

[kaskade]

Store is up but I can't click iPad.

 

[Battlezone]

Anyone try the Apple Store App?

I got in, and got all the way through the order process, then it crashed as soon as it was verifying my account details. I almost had to place an order for a new phone, as well.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

GOD DAMMIT WENT FOR APPLE TV AND STORE IS FUCKED AGAIN!

 

[PaulLFC]

Apple US store - WORKING
Apple UK store - NOT WORKING (as of yet)

 

[mrklaw]

You guys have been discussing how Apple sells products for pages as if they haven't considered the potential confusion you're talking about. Seriously.

the only people that might actually be confused are people like us that think too hard about such silly things. And we really understand anyway

 

[DrEvil]

Canadian store is up.

edit: got all the way to the engraving option now it's slow as molasses.

edit2 ooo checkout page.

 

[Spacebar]

Check out page is loading....cmon you son of a bitch!

 

[DopeyFish]

Canadian store is up.

slow as hell again :<

 

[Magnus]

Ugh, totally flew into the online store just now all the way to the checkout. Then I realized I was in the US store and not the Canada one. Fuck.

Canada still down.

edit-

Canada up again, but pages mysteriously can't be found! lol. I don't understand.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

UK still a post it note for me

 

[Keylime]

Pre-Order complete! BOOYAH!

 

[a secret-boss]

Skipping engraving

 

[TaKeRx]

Pre-order complete!

 

[PaulLFC]

Still "Be Back Soon" on the UK store. At least I know (or hope) that nobody else here can get preorders in while the site's down!

This thread's moving so fast... is collect from an Apple Store an option during preordering, or is it a separate link?

 

[Gamecocks625]

BOOM!

Got my online order in

32GB wifi Black

 

[reektann]

I never want to see a post it note again for the rest of my life.

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

US Store is working, but it's slow.

Guess demand is still high for the iPad.

 

[see5harp]

Oh shit I'm in.....crosses fingers.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Oh god so close!

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Release the kraken, Apple UK!

 

[commish]

[Mobius 1]

[DopeyFish]

Ugh, totally flew into the online store just now all the way to the checkout. Then I realized I was in the US store and not the Canada one. Fuck.

Canada still down.

[kaskade]
