UPDATE: The U.S. store has also closed. Typical scenario before a product release.

UPDATEx3: Apple has released the MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo
Apple is progressively closing its online stores, starting, as usually with European stores. This usually hints at imminent product updates.
An attempt to access to one of these stores results in a message displayed in place of the online store: We'll Be Back Soon, we're busy updating the store for you and will be back shortly.
Apple is expected to refresh its notebook line-ups, as MacScoop has recently reported. Yesterday, MacScoop has also received information from reliable sources claiming that Apple would announce at least one new product on October 24, resulting in an update of our report at 03:28 GMT, early this morning.
The most likely products to be updated are the MacBook and the MacBook Pro line-ups. MacScoop will keep you posted as soon as the store are open again.
