Of course, nobody has received a Play.com N800 yet, so there's still lots of peaks and troughs left on the ride yet. Personally I doubt we'll get them on the 19th Nov. I think the release of the price-drop units depends on the release of the N810, and nobody seems to know when that's due in the UK.

Incidentally, if you're going to buy any kind of electrical, buy it online, rather than form a bricks and mortar shop. Then you're covered by the Distance Selling Regulations, giving you the legal right to send it back for whatever reason you want within seven days. The seven days is supposed to give you time to evaluate the unit but if you spot a better bargain elsewhere... Of course, you might have to pay for the return.

Also, loads of companies have deal-matching services too. As mentioned, Amazon.co.uk will refund the difference if the price drops within 30 days of purchase although I doubt this covers instances where Amazon acts as an agent for another company (as with the current N800 deals).
