Did you go 8 or 16gb?

Just wondered how many went with the 8gb and how many went with the 16gb

I went with the 8gb because:
1) That $199 price is so damn sexy
2) I don't clutter up my electronics w/ excess rarely used music & movies
3) Dropbox / Google Drive / Skydrive / Box.net cloud storage.

I'm getting more and more into using the cloud. Didn't seem worth it to spend an extra $50.

8 gigs. Nothing to put on there... a few pdfs of school books and everything else is on cloud. I couldn't justify putting anything else on. lol

Don't forget that 8/16 GB is an overall flash storage capacity.
Judging by my Nook devices there will be about 5/13 GB available for user.

8gb

I went with the 8gb since I am getting it as kidtainment system for my toddlers apps, I figure even with the all those apps I will have plenty of room for some "lower quality" videos for him as well. Other uses will include the occasional eBook or magazine as well as for use as an xbmc remote and for the occasional browsing etc. Point being actual media storage is not a concern, and though a microSD slot would have been nice the trend seems to be away from it.

Just preordered 16gb (£209 including delivery).. 16gb not ideal but should be enough.. I would use it for movies and games when away on business and all sorts at home.. excited as hell now..

£209 is about 325$ May I ask why it's so pricey?

We pay a lot in tax and just generally get price gorged in the UK compared to the US.

Having said that, £159 to £199 is actually a pretty good price for a device with this spec in the UK

. Got my order in already...
