Even though I disagreed with earlier posts I was going to sit on the fence over this, but continued debate has stirred me from my complacency again. As I mentioned before, the original post was comparing the cost of purchasing a unit within a country not of purchasing from a different country and importing it. Looking at the US and UK 10GB models I calculate that the US customer gets his/her empeg delivered to his/her door for approximately £127 cheaper than the UK customer. This is, of course, based on the discounted US model, but could still make a UK customer look elsewhere.

I'm not even gonna start on price comparisons for the tuner

[update]Okay, so I've just re-read the original post and it does ask if it would cheaper to import - but I still think my points are valid[/update]
