price drop in the UK?
there was actually a "price drop" in the UK. A couple of days after the Steve Show, and the US price drop and mention of the Software Upgrade, I was looking to buy the reduced 40GB. It was still dear @ 199 pounds. I submitted a bug report on the Apple TV , mentioning the bug "that it was too expensive", hence no-one in the UK/EU would consider it. Co-incidentally , the next day the UK refurb Apple Store started selling 40GB Apple TV 1's. I missed them. At 7h30am the next day there was stock again, (BTW, the refurb store considers them an "iPod"!) Anyway I got my order in @ UK£135 , a whopping 33% discount. Nice.
As usual , when the box arrived there was no sign of it being returned stock, I'm just waiting for the firmware upgrade then will start playing.
