How much extra for remote and cradle?

[Tanthalas]

How much extra are they likely to charge for the remote and cradle on the X5/M5? I was going to get an M3, and I'm still thinking of doing so, but the X5 does look very nice. However, at x large amount of money for the player, plus y and z for the cradle and remote that come as standard with other models, it could get to be very expensive. Any ideas on how much it's going to cost for a complete package on say, the X5L 30GB (the one I'm thinking of)? I'm in the UK, by the way.


Oh, and hello! :)

Cradle should be $30 - $40. Remote the same or a bit higher. I only know the Korean prices :(

I guess my x5 30gb will run me over $400 for everything (x5, dock, remote, pack) yeah....I need everything. Just wish the x5 came with a removable battery.

Yeah...$400 is a lot of cash, even with the strength of GBP. Wonder if I should just go for the M3? It's a bit naughty of them not to include the extra gear.

Edit - Scratch that! $400 is only £209! Gotta love that strong pound :D

But then there's import @ about 20% <_<

[zaphanathpaneah]

Yeah.....you will.

Other problem with importing from US is the warrenty. In EU you'll get at least 6 month full warrenty plus more 18 month where you have to show that the error was in the player when you bought it an just showed up now at the shop you bought ist.
What is the warrenty for Cowon products in US and is it an international warrenty, so I just can send the product to the local distributor?

Good point many warranty's are NOT international.
