Hello avid users of Remote Central,

I live in The Netherlands, and was wodnering if the new RM-VL710 is available here yet. I've went to five shops, saw the two new preprogrammed only models (The tiny one ans the 202 of that series), but not the VL710. And, considering it was on top of a Pronto, I dont think it's because the shop I checked first uninterested in remotes.

Is it just too soon? Is it not available yet? Or should I go and see if they can place an order of it for me?

Thanks in advance.

It seems this remote is available in US/Canada only, at least that was the case up until 2 weeks ago when I bought mine (Sony Italy didn't even know about its existence).

If you want it bad, buy it from the US; I bought it on an ebay.com US shop; shipping costs doubled its price but it was worth it.

You can try froogle.google.com as search engine to find out many other online shops which carry it (only about 10% of the online shops listed will ship to Europe).

That's an awfully steep price to pay for getting it...Well, that's really too bad. We europeans are left out again...-Sigh- you grow used to it.

I wonder if there's a Philips (They're Dutch, and I've seen loads of Philips products in local shops) are any good...But I guess I'll never find out.

Too bad, so long for this idea.
