Hi guys,

Stumbled across this forum when looking for the 505... Some great info so thanks to all contributors. Devastating to see that Play removed the pre-order and that they may have listed the release date in error...

Does anyone have even a provisional release date for the UK? I see the 18th/19th of April talked about... Would people recommend holding out and hoping the price isn't too high/release isnt too far off... Or just take the warranty risk and order from B&H as suggested.. Just checked and you can get a 505 for $299 + $40pp to UK. £170 seems pretty reasonable, but would be annoyng if sony then released at £200 in UK with 1yr warranty...
