That was mentioned a week or two ago on the news, yeah. That _could_ be it, but the US store was down, too. AFAIK: All the stores were down, even those without changes.

I still wonder why they have to take the store down completely just to add or remove one or two products. Shouldn't this simply be a change in the database, which could be done live? Seems to me they _want_ this kind of attention...
