This is interresting. The events in Sweden are planned for dates all before the 11:th. :) (http://www.beoevent.se).
The one I'm invited to is onm the 6:th of November. Will try to get some pictures from the event and "beat" the world wide launch planned for the 11:th.. :)
On the subject of if/when to buy - I still haven't heard anything else (except for its ability to play digital music, which I belive most of us already have setups to do, AppleTV, Apple AirportExpress, Sonus, etc. etc. etc.) that the BS5 does? Anyone? Kind of wierd to release a "digital musicplayer" for some €4500 in the year of 2009 (i.m.h.o).
