B&H, which I know ships to Europe and the UK, has it for $119.99 US.

By the way, they come in a variety of colors which, for some reason, are priced differently. You might find a "less desirable" color for even less.

Do these heat up and suffer as a result? We used a Lacie drive at work (can't remember the size) and it blew thanks to the thing getting too hot, IT said that they couldn't do a thing with it and that "we did have backups right?" I may be doing some shopping for one of those passport jobs and in fact they are listed in the same catalogue as the others I've just noticed. or I might pick one up whilst next stateside.
