Personally I would rather pay £400 for a Blu-Ray player that doubles
up as a gaming console, than £400 for just a player. Having said that
i'd rather pay £200 for a universal player, so I think i'll leave it a
couple of years

Leave it three years and they'll be £20 in Sainsbury's.


Exactly. But if it it *really* meant you were condemning yourself to 3

It was
suddenly revealed to me a couple of years back that being an early
adopter was a mug's game; it was an Arcam DAB tuner that was the cause
of my Damascene moment.


My first DAB tuner was a Technics, slashed to a ridiculous low 300 quid
from the then 499 RRP - my present (equally good) DAB tuner can be
easily got from eBay (graded, ex-display) for 30 quid + 12 quid P&P..!!
