i have read a lot about these so called discont stores as i was planning to buy a camcorder on my trip to the US. before i considered any store i always checked its reviews on
www.bizrate.com
For the review on this store see:
Discout Jungle Review
These shops usually employ a bait and switch policy where they attract you by posting a cheap price and then when you try to order firstly they may charge excessive delivery rates, but the main ploy is to offer certain accessories, e.g. maybe a card reader. Which if you dont purchase at there inflated rates mainly results in the supplier suddenly having no stock left. As these shops normally only deliver to the US this is all done over the phone so there is pressure selling. BUT this may not always be the case.
My advice always check out the shop you are planning to buy from and if its too good to be true then BLAH.
Disclaimer: I may be completley wrong as i havent personally made a purchase from this shop ever.

i also noticed that the model of memory stick is the old type (MSGM128A). The white memory stick (i think) which has a lower transfer rate 20mbps opposed to 160 with the new blue memory sticks (MSHM128A). Although some people say this doesnt actually make that much of a difference.

i found the duo on
http://www.electricaldiscountuk.co.uk by searching the duo on
http://www.dealtime.co.uk for £40.98 (£36.99 + £3.99 delivery) and if you click on the dealtime link the review of the retailer seems to be quite good. BUT it takes 3-5 working days to deliver and it doesnt show stock availability but i think its worth the saving.
