Because they can, so they do.

DSE AU is "In store only". No stock for on line sales probably means that it is clearance time. A lot of the DSE NZ stores have 2 or less so NZ possibly hasn't got a lot to dump before a newer model. The replacement cost of the included ink carts is around $140NZ

There's an Epson RX610 at DSE for $199 if you want a $200 printer :D

723604 2008-11-27 21:02:00 Canon US show an MP620 with a cheaper price than the MP610. Any MP610 around will be the last ones. DSE NZ have a funny attitude towards pricing, they'll wait until no one wants it then drop the price :)

Edit: Features change after MP610 If you are interested do your own research.

723605 2008-11-28 07:45:00 not really useful but if you want to buy 100 off me i can get it for roughly US$80 hueybot3000 (3646)
723606 2008-11-28 22:03:00 The only reason I want another printer is cos my old epson cx3100 has snuffed it. The epson printers I've had in the past always take an eternity to actually print the first page & that drives me nuts. Tht's why I was going back to canon

I saw yesterday there's an mp630 too.

I'll keep looking

I've got a brother mfc at work, thats quicker, but drinks ink like an alcaholic drinks beer
