Once again, iTunes is appreciably more expensive outside the United States. Must be all the postage and packaging to send those CDs international mail. Oh wait...

They managed to iron out the details to open this store before MacWorld Expo, which will make one more accomplishment they can boast about (even though many consider this store opening "late").
Note: "Vertigo" by U2 hasn't yet fallen off Apple's Top 10 Songs list. It's number 9.

Yes, Vertigo has been on the iTMS charts for a long time... Not to mention that the huge BOX SET was the top-selling album for a while!

Apple needs to RELAX. Sometimes I think they do this to all the mac nerds to help increase our heart rates so we don't die off and in return they keep the mac faithful. We still got next week to lose 5 more pounds of armpit sweat! :eek:

Actually, it's only €0.99 a track, and the tax is included, unlike in the States. It's marginally more expensive because of the strong Euro and weak US dollar.Good news for Ireland. Another bit of red tape obviously sorted out.
