Is This Digital Radio a Good Deal?

I found this site from the flash memory that was posted and found this digital radio

For $37 delivered this is a great deal isn't it?

I would have thought this would be $100+ in Australia?

We use DAB+
As DAB is not forward compatible with DAB+, older DAB receivers can not receive DAB+ broadcasts. However, DAB receivers that will be able to receive the new DAB+ standard via a firmware upgrade went on sale in July 2007. If a receiver is DAB+, there will be a sign on the product packaging.

  Yes what dirtybird said. UK uses DAB, not DAB+ so be careful with imports, make sure you can upgrade to DAB+ or forget it. I read somewhere that the shortcomings of DAB are partly responsible for the poor uptake of DAB in the UK. Good thing we waited.
