For those that follow each new Pi release you know for the first 2-3 months they are sold way above value.
So waiting three weeks and buying one in a magazine for $16 is well worth it.
Thank you for the heads up of the possible wait on the December issue in the US.
For use as a mining controller it makes sense, just add a cheap wifi adapter
but for Kodi and many other uses it just is too expensive with the additional addons.
Too bad it's not a stripped down Pi2. But fun none the less.
