    Good News for UK consumers

    I hope this will bring down prices and offer some serious competition to some arrogant PC/Laptop retailers in UK.

    That should give the "usuals" a run for their money. I see they also offer energy plans, that's something very UK, or should I say, Euro, as they don't even have such a thing here...yet, but then energy is relatively cheap here.

    Maybe I won't need to pinch my pennies as hard to get some new gadgets.
    I hope they stop the PC World/Dixons/Currys monopoly and bring prices back down to those in the US. Last time I came back from America I was stopped by immigration for all the cheap tech I'd brought back, luckily no VAT was due.

    What's wrong with Ebuyer. Their the cheapest in the UK. Their competition is Scan and the like. Also Amazon are now more competitive than most. Therefore it's likely to be just another shop.

    I use Amazon and the nice thing now is no delivery charge if you're prepared to wait a couple of days for the item, with no lower limit.
