No, it's not. At least, not yet. "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)"

You may have to click the "Buy" button a second time. I live in Europe so I'm used to seeing prices with added VAT. When I launched the app store, however, my item was priced at the U.S. price of $19.99. However, after getting this error once, the app store was reloaded with the correct price tag and a functional buy button.

I still can't download it though. Still getting that error 100

I'm confused. It says ¥128.00 there. So, I checked google http://www.google.com/search?q=%C2%A5128.00+in+usd That's less than $2 or I must be mistaken.

Never mind. It's $20. http://likeforex.com/currency-converter/chinese-yuan-renminb...

I guess Google was wrong this time.

If you bought one of the updated models from June 2012, don't forget you can get the upgrade for free: http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/

I have the new model. I don't see an option to select a macbook air when choosing the mac type. Guess I will be on call with apple..

Interestingly enough I went through their redeem process (which is sort of convoluted, with a password protected PDF), and was then told "This code has already been used. Each code may only be used once." when I tried to redeem the code they gave me...

So you might want to wait a bit until they sort out the bugs.

No, Yen and Yuan both commonly use ¥ as their currency symbol, so Google just made an (incorrect) assumption about which you meant.
