    Agree with that, I ordered one a few days ago from Amazon and all in I was charged €37.86 on the credit card.

    When is the money (including lost growth) Michael Noonan took in the Pension Levy going to be paid back?

    Ordered on Amazon on Wed 19th. Arrived this morning - so less than 3 working days. €38 cost.

    Can't see any way of getting it faster or cheaper with Groupon, they'll probably take your money and you'll get shoved down to the end of the queue. Got it from Amazon UK about two months ago, less than €40 as per posters above. The only difference with the upcoming launch is that the model I got came with a US plug for the USB cable (to feed power to the stick) but the cable is detachable from the US plug. If you have a USB port on the TV for playing movies from a HDD, you can use that port and the cable that comes with the mains plug (microUSB male plug at one end and USB male plug at the other) to power the Chromecast stick - any charger that came with a recent Android phone will also do the job from the mains. The HDMI port can not provide power so it has to be fed 5V DC via the microUSB port on the rear of the stick.

    Seems like Argos are not selling this anymore, guess you can only get it from Amazon now?

    Spotted on another forum that Argos have it in the shops but not online for some reason.

    Read from post #4 forward in this recent thread.....
