Perhaps this price cut to 49 quid is a sign of deflation. Where everything losses value, which seems like a great thing for the shopper but in the long run is really bad for the economy. Not that I really understand it.
I can't see VM slashing prices to compete, as one doesn't really buy the V+ box, they just pay for installation, I paid 75 pounds just before x mas, would never have paid 150.

Also, I've heard if you are already a customer of VM, and phone up threatening to leave, you get offered deals to keep you, one being free instalation of the V+. Anyone know if this is true?
