Will Rift -S be £300 in the United Kingdom?

Some people are saying it's £399, but it's $399, which makes it £300 in the UK. Can anyone confirm the price in the UK and if not when will we get to find out?

To be fair $399 will be excluding tax where as £399 will include VAT @ 20%

Fair point bigmike, I keep forgetting about tax law in the US, isn't there sales tax over there? I guess that varies from state to state or something.

And import duty at whatever it is at the time.
$ = £ when duty & taxes are added, roughly so I was calculating on the same 🙂

To play fair - you guys also get another year of warranty for the price differences (because by law it is force). Here in the US - its only one year.


the 2-year warranty that Europeans enjoy appears to be as a result of EU law, so quite what happens to the UK after the April 12th BREXIT, or whenever it will be, will be interesting to see.

I never thought about that when I created this thread.

So, how much are we going to ask for our Rifts on ebay/Gumtree etc then?

I reckon £200 - though my headband plastic is starting to turn white, which is an off-putter for buyers
