Cost for HD sky plus
 

Considering that Sky+ 160 is £299, I doubt it. That's £100 more than
the "standard" Sky+ plus (now with 80GB drive), yet a 250GB drive can
be bought at retail for £72 - I know, I've just put one in my Sky+ -
so they'd be less in bulk. Remember, when the marketing people get
hold of it to make the pricing decision, it's based on perceived value,
not cost of production. Sky+ 160 was originally £200 more than a Sky+
- twice the price - yet the price difference between a 40GB and 160GB
drive, even then, was £40; but as it could store 4 times as much, only
twice the price must be reasonable, right?
