It was a joke

That is what I assumed - I ordered it from andertons that is currently £20 less than anyone else (including amazon, even though I dont' order through them anyway), but had to pay £2 more for shipping to make sure it wasn't sent with Evri! Seemed a good bet!

Yeah, maybe not too obvious, but it was a joke. 

That's a really good price, id have gone for that over the Amazon price myself, although the 5 months interest free was really helpful.

Came today, nice box and seem ok, quite chunky but not too heavy - wouldn't have killed them to make the transmitter and receiver a bit more visibly different from each other, but can put a label on one. Tried them briefly tonight and they seem very quiet which is good, will have to try them with the effects pedals to see how they go but promising so far. i do like that you can replace the batteries.

I am too - I now did a practice with the setup where the lekato would have been noisy and needed a workaround, and the XVive was as quiet as a cable, so very happy with it.

I had to use my Lekato over the weekend while the Xvive was charging. Just at home. I can't believe how susceptible to interference the Lekato is. Just tapping it while it's plugged in to my EBS Micorbass produced a noise. Maybe it's faulty, although has never actual dropped a signal.

Mine doesn't drop the signal, and it isn't touch sensitive or anything, it is just very noisy, If I connect the receiver to a normal 5M+ guitar lead via an adapter, it is absolutely fine, but that really isn't the point! Its fine for at home though, so now it is my home device. It was actually ok if you didn't use overdrive or something gigging, as the noise was below the guitarists noise, but put any drive on it and it got very bad.
