It’s simply the fact that they have clearly reduced costs (or they wouldn’t have made it) yet the price for both models has technically increased because the stand is no longer included and the digital is £10 more even before the stand.

The MSRP of the Digital SKU has been £389.99 for over a year, it's not increasing. EDIT: Notwithstanding the vertical stand not being included anymore, granted.

We gonna bitch about 10 eurodollars and a cheap plastic stand that is completely unnecessary??

It’s cheaper for Sony to manufacture and ship yet it’s more expensive. Nobody should be OK with this.
