First time trying to create a Facebook app. Browsed to https://developers.facebook.com/apps and it had a link for to register before creating a link where you just accept the T&C's. Now it says, "Create an app to start..." But there is no button to click to create app.
I was having this SAME exact problem just now. I have a verified personal account (email and credit card) and I couldn't see the button. This is what I was getting:

Eventually, I became so desperate that I started typing random urls, and this one, by the Odin's Raven, worked: http://developers.facebook.com/setup

Also, I suspect that this is a bug...because if I can create an App using this link but not through the dev dashboard, then something is up.
