The press release said it was MSRP $1599 USD. I've already seen it in US shops for $1,399.
So why is it priced at £1399 in the UK? This works out at over $2,500!!
I know the MSRP is the 'suggested' retail price, and they have most likely added VAT on top of this....but this is nearly twice the price for us UK buyers!!

Are people aware they could buy a top of the range pc for that price?? Why would ANYONE buy this when they can buy a brand new pc ... shit you could even get a good laptop for that price.

Yes they are... and we've had that discussion over here. No one is forcing you to buy it you know....Amberience wrote:Are people aware they could buy a top of the range pc for that price??

This forum is for people who are interested nevertheless and try to find out what this thing can do (or not do).
I'm intrested in an answer on the prize issue too.....

Traditional 'one quid per buck' UK pricing.

That's the punishment for not getting the (bloody) euro!whyterabbyt wrote:Traditional 'one quid per buck' UK pricing.
"One euro per buck" would be a much better deal IMO!

Why not just give good solid pricing? Most of kvr is european, youd think muse would have seen this as a large potential customer base and done the extra research?
Or is there something I am missing !?

IT'd be cheaper to buy it in the states and have it shipped over.

Only the deeply stupid will buy it. May as well skin 'em for all they're worth.

.... and plug a 110 V machine into yer 220 V power supply.... that should be fun!Amberience wrote:IT'd be cheaper to buy it in the states and have it shipped over.
Oh wait.... the freakin' plug won't even fit into the powersupply at all!
Not wise to get hardware gear that far away from home IMO.
Anyway!
The prize difference might be a mistake for all we know.... but the answers down here have high latency. Maybe it's a forum-driver issue.
