Kind of makes me sad. It suggests it's obsolete. But it will never be obsolete with me!

That translates to about 160$cdn
Which is what they are selling for in Canada now, but many are also throwing in a plastic carry case and one place was giving a set of not bad headphones with it during a recent sale for that price.

I was at L&M here in Calgary, Alberta today and they had a bunch of them in the clearance bin for a cool $99.00 + tax (5% in AB).

Now that is getting almost insulting to the MBR clan.
At this rate soon to be found in the wal*mart $ bin.  :-[

People of the MBR, take up yer bag-pipes and march to its defense.

Ok

On sale I can accept given the new version... but to throw them in a clearance bin ? That is just not right.

Where I bought mine they've got them for £99 as well.

I must admit, the temptation to buy another is suddenly very strong (before a BR-80!). The thing will wear out, and when mine does give up the ghost it probably won't be replacable.

For the job it does, the MBR is well-nigh perfect. So for those of us "in the know", finding them in the bargain bin might actually be a good thing! :)
