@patrickt. This is almost a textbook case of Caveat Emptor. I suspect you may be very disappointed when you go back. The buyer retains some responsibility to do their homework. even in the most maternal of our Nanny States. There is no misleading or deceptive conduct here on the part of the retailer, unless, as you seem to believe, the price itself constitutes a representation that it is the very latest model. This is simply not the case anywhere in the world that I know of. You also seem to have the belief that the retailer has probably obtained old stock at a substantial discount from Amazon, and that this windfall should have been passed on to the consumer. Once again, this is an obligation that I haven't heard of being imposed anywhere in the world.
Consumer protection laws have come a long way, IMHO too far in some countries. However, buyers are left with some responsibilities even in those jursisdictions with draconian consumer protection laws.
