If anyone wants to take a chance argos in the uk is selling the last few off for £80 on their ebay store

they are new and more importantly have the 12 month warranty from argos. Though if it breaks in eight months I imagine you will just get a refund as where will they get a replacement from? You are not going to get any support on it though, obviously.
I'm not brave enough, waiting till after Christmas to see if the prices crash.
