Where can I upgrade in the UK? If I upgrade from Sony's site it will cost me $199, plus UK VAT at 17.5% and international postage for the content. That's a lot more than the US retail price of $129.

If I can upgrade in the UK it will probably be a lot cheaper. So come on Sony, what about a good deal for us UK and European customers?

Do you know someone in the US who might be able to forward it to you? Sony don't add VAT if you have it delivered to a US address.

I share your opinion that something needs to be done for UK customers though. I'm fed up of having to perform complicated manoeuvres to keep prices down.

You should wait for the promotional e-mails before placing an order whatever happens as it's unlikely you'll have to pay the full $199.
