iTunes Music Store in Russia is already at the testing stage
Short but promising news.
Today, some have noticed that in iTunes, search for songs began to work occasionally. Instead of a message about the inaccessibility of the store in Russia, there are results with prices in rubles. It is not yet possible to buy (apparently because of the same testing), but, for example, pre-listening is working.
The prices, however, are several times lower than those in America: 15 rubles per track and 100 rubles for the whole album. ')
The more interesting is the fact that prices for the same younger Macbook Pro 15 with retina display prices mysteriously dropped significantly over the last month (you can buy the official Russian delivery for 75 thousand rubles; even Re: Store threw off 15 thousand in its traditionally transcendental price tag) despite the fact that a similar price excluding taxes in the states is ≈70 thousand rubles. Is this a hint of a new pricing policy and the imminent opening of the official Apple Store?
