They could release it in the UK though, if they're releasing it in the US. Or wait until they were ready and then release it everywhere all at once, to stop people selling them on ebay for £1500....

There's also the issue of voltage - US mains has 120 volts while we have 230 in the UK, so it'll need a whole new transformer, with a UK plug of course...
