"(if this link isn’t live yet, give it a few more minutes and then try again)."

It's literally right after the link. What did you expect? It's a breaking story, the product was just announced and in the conference it was announced as available later today.

Personally I'd expect a "not live" link to fail to load, or be 404, or put up a "coming soon" page, or something. If I get a login page that indicates "live" to me.

I'm not accustomed to logging into a link that's "not yet live."

FWIW, the response I get is: Sorry, but we're having trouble signing you in. We received a bad request.

(I'm logged in with the same account through other services.)

It was probably put behind a login wall for this very purpose, so it's not leaked ahead of time. Just have patience.
