was 200 dollars here in oz ... but i saw see many floating in us ebay stores for much better deals man !
There's another model released which is just a level on top of this and happens to be the flagship, ASUS HDAV 1.3 , but when i was checkin these things out , that model had quite a number of driver issues ( still does i believe ) and was also quite expensive. So just settled for this one and lovin it !
