320gbs is nice (but not exactly very generous - with 1tb & 750gb HDDs now so cheap why do they insist on, what, helping clear stocks of these small HDDs?) Hopefully it'll be as easy to upgrade as the Sky HD box.
The price.
Oh dear that price.....are they only hopeful of single digit sales?
Now that the Sky HD DVR box (which obviously provides access, depending on package bought, to a far wider range of HD programming) is available for £75 ($160) for new customers that price is just insane.
If you want only the free stuff it'd be cheaper to take the Sky HD box and pay the £10/mth for the HD free services. IIRC that means you'd miss out on the ITV HD channel when it arrives (provided arrangements don't change in the meantime) but little else.
Better it's available as a chice than not I suppose but outside of those in the company(s) connected I just don't see this selling at that price.
