Well, thanks to a friend "in the biz" in Portland, I was able to obtain some details on SB's upcoming promotion for existing users. Prior to taking the expedient step of accepting lot bids from liquidators, the SB stores will offer the following pricing/terms (quotes are for 10GB unit) for owners of Mk1/Mk2/Mk2a:

1) Pricing in U.S. is set at 650 U.S.D.
2) EU and all International (other than Canada) customer pricing set at par in GBP, approximately 450 GBP
3) Allocation has been made for all existing Canadian owners from US eStore with same price in USD.

As might be expected there are a few other terms and conditions -- those little hoops you just have to jump through every once in a great while. These are:

1) US orders from the Digital River eStore will be fulfilled between May and July, 2003.
2) EU and international orders will be fulfilled within 2 business days but will be subject to VAT of approximately 1150 GBP
3) The single unit allocated to Canada will be delivered, damaged, to an undisclosed location in northern Manitoba.

Hope this helps.

Jim
