Don't forget this story is from Japan. I think those models are Japanese and the ones sold elsewhere will look different. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

No you can get those exact same looking models here in Australia. You can also get the OEM versions which look very plain in comparison.

And where can the DVR-108/A08 be purchased in the EU? Do you know any online shop in te EU? The shipping cost from US is the same as the drive price itself, so it would be nice to find some EU source.
