I suspect Toshiba will sell directly on both models for the next month or so to stabalize the retail price! If you search around most site's the HD-E1 is around the £400 mark & the HD-XE1 is around £600. Most pre orders for the E1 were £350 ish & if you were lucky as i was you would have pre ordered the XE1 for £505! The more people that buy for Toshiba, the less people will keep there pre-orders with other dealers thus allowing the retail price to balance out. play.com has already increased the price of the E1 back to £449.99, I would more than likely say others will follow suit!Question is, will they (Toshiba) pull the same trick with the XE1?
Got my notification today as wellJust spoke to Toshiba, my HD-E1 has been dispatched today! Hopefully TNT won't bugger the delivery up, fingers crossed.
