I thought Woolworths went out of business. I was there in the UK at one of the stores not long before it closed and it was a vast wasteland.

Definitely out of business in the UK, yes.

sabredog is from Australia from the look of things though, so possibly still going strong there?

Woolworths, along with Coles, are the biggest retail companies in Australia. Woolworths own Dick Smith Electronics, Big W (similar to Kmart and Target), several differing liquor stores, Caltex-Woolworths petrol station chain to name a few. Plus they are getting into hardware as well.

They had no affiliation with the UK Woolworths that went bankrupt a few years back

They will not be going bust any time soon.

The UK sony.co.uk site lists 3 e-reader products starting from £120, and that lower price is for the old PRS-300, though the 300 (£120), 350 (£149) and 650 (£199) are all shown as temporarily unavailable.

When the Dutch retailer bol.com accidentally posted pricing details, it was €165, with corresponds to about £150 (or slightly less).

The US price of $149 equates to about £95, but I seriously doubt they would price it anywhere near that in the UK. I expect to see a $1 = £1 exchange rate for a price of £149-ish.

They'd have to be mad to price it anywhere near £200, given long-standing Kindle 3 prices.

I will go out on a limb and say the new model will sell down under for AU$229, which was the RRP of the PRS-350 when it was available.
Looks like we were wrong, which is good news for us aussies, $179 is good

Err, NO.

If you look at the 'More Info' for the T1 it says - "Sorry, price information for this product is not currently available."

The £120 price is for the PRS 300 - which is temporarily unavailable, as are they all.
