Yep.

Although I think they may be quoting recommended retail prices. They say £570.90 for a Pentax K10D here. I got mine for £480.

Still a rip off compared to some other countries though.

Perhaps you should leave no matter what the other half says. I'm sure you wear the pants in your house.

I like the itunes and the $0.99 = 50p.

While this may be true now. It only takes the £ 2 $ exchange rate to alter to something like 1.2 rather than the 1.9 it is now and the price becomes the same or even less over here.
Yes the rate has been there as well.

Something else that they forget is that usa is a lot bigger market, than poxey ol'e UK, when it comes to comparing hardware etc.
