Adobe's online store buckles under the pressure of CS3 rush

Adobe_3It would appear Adobe underestimated the excitement the launch of Photoshop CS3 would cause.

Although the homepage works fine, try to access the online Store and it all goes horribly wrong.

Update: The Adobe shop appears to be working now, albeit very slowly

As you'll see in our screenshot, the IE title bar states "Scheduled maintenance" as the reason for the site being down. We can help thinking it odd that Adobe should schedule maintenance on its site on the same day it launches its biggest money-spinner.

Of course, it's all academic. As you'll see in our post below, CS3 won't actually be available to buy until next month - hopefully Adobe will have sorted its site out by then.
