Apple Drops Price of Mac Mini Internationally
Apple has quietly dropped the price of the Mac mini in international markets this morning. According to Macerkopf.de, the change is reflected in all markets not priced in U.S. dollars, though Australia seems unaffected.
In the UK, prices of the two Mac mini models dropped from 649 to 599 and 929 to 879, while in other European countries prices dropped from 809 euro to 709 euro and 1149 euro to 999 euro. Prices in the U.S. remain unchanged at $699 and $999 for the two Mac mini models.

I wonder if this move is to in effect to show the weakness of the US dollar or push more of these units off of the shelves.

They really need to drop the price in the U.S.
Definitely, but if it's only going to be $50 less I'll pass

I rated this negative only because no story on Macrumors can only have positive ratings! :D
That and the Canadian price is still the same, 50$ over US when our dollars are on or close to parity.

INteresting..... must be having difficulty sell them? or not going as quick as other markets?
Also... the UK is due to VAT to raise from 17.5% to 20% in the new year.... going to be interesting to see how Apple deal with that.... expecting prices to remain tbh.

Stevie Boy justified the Uk and European prices due to the weak Pound/Euro against the dollar and also the fact that VAT is "built in" the price... well, the Pound/Euro are inching back up and VAT in the UK goes up to 20% in January, so the price drop is probably in preparation for a stronger Pound and VAT Rise.
...Funny how just a £50 drop suddenly makes the Mini look like a much more tempting purchase!
