As of mid May the 77A80J is priced at £4199 in the UK

France (FNAC) euro 3999  = £3447

USA (B&H) Dollars 3998 + approx sales tax = approx £3150

 

So in the UK we are paying £700 more than France and  £1049 more than USA

Sony if you want me to purchase your 77A80J then give us a fair price.

I'd really appreciate it if you could share the links for all these prices here.

Its very easy to do an online search and find these cheaper prices. This is the links for the ones I looked at today, I am sure there will be many others.

Thanks a lot, for reference, this is the only reliable UK price link I could find as well: https://centresdirect.co.uk/p-41242-sony-bravia-xr-xr77a80ju-77-oled-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-google-tv.aspx

 

Which does confirm the price difference, hopefully we'll have some more info once it's officially released though.

 

Much appreciated!

I don't know what year mean " once its officially released " . It is released, John Lewis, Curries PC World and others are already selling it in the UK at £4199.

I meant to say "readily available" as opposed to the preorder option.
