    Apparently HMV tweeted about this so it must be genuine, and not a misprice. I've went for it.
    interesting.
    We'll have to wait and see, but if it's genuine, you could buy a few and sell 'em on ebay and make a fair few quid....(£200 profit per unit?)

    Gah! I don't know whether to go for this or not...

    My advice would be to go for it, wait and see if it's going to be honoured and then make the decision. As a poster put earlier there is 21 days to return (obviously unopened).
    Better that than miss out and be kicking yourself!
    That's what I've done anyway!

    I know it's cheap, but it's only running a 1ghz processor, which will run Android fine but is older technology. The Nexus 7 has a Quad Core 1.4Ghz which is miles faster and you also get the latest version of Android (Jelly Bean) for the same price.

    Here's a comparison

    I've just been over to Twitter, HMV have retweeted a HDUK post regarding this. Would seem to be a genuine price then and HMV are spreading the word!

    there you go then! Looking genuine.

    Tempted to buy 5 or 6 of these and sell them on Ebay.
    I think you could make at least £160 or so per item very easily.

    Maybe if it was just you doing it, but if there are hundreds of people buying to sell on ebay there will be competition!

    Why do people brag about clearing the shelves of bargains, even worse brag about doing it to sell them on Ebay? I have had confirmation of my order so if this is genuine I will be lucky enough to get one. Some people won't be so lucky and that will be because greedy people order multiples to sell them on. Do us all a favour and if you intend to do this, keep it to yourself.
