What's up with extenders in Europe?

    What's up with extenders in Europe?

    Hi all, I’m finding extender prices in Europe really intriguing. What’s going on with a 329€ pricetag for the DMA2100? That’s more than $500... When you, well, not you but our American fellows can buy it from dell for $150... What? Linksys don’t want their product to be successful in Europe? I mean, I would pay 329€ for a pack of 2, not for a single DMA2100. I don’t think it’s a good way to bring MediaCenter awareness in Europe. I really like Media Center, but I don’t think it’s doing to well here, I mean, where’s the content? No sports lounge, no vídeos, nothing. There’s a lot that have to be done here.

    I think Microsoft should do something about this, either that, or release a small, quiet extender themselves, with a small price. Linksys needs to be shaked J
