Why is the black MacBook more expensive?

I've just been on the Apple Store site and there is over a hundred quid difference between the white and the black MacBook with the same spec (2GB RAM, 120GB HDD, 2GHz CPU). Anybody know why this is?

OIC. That's pretty rubbish. I would prefer the black version but I'm darned if I'm gonna pay extra for it!

Are you sure you spec'd them the same? The difference is "only" £20 for identical specs now. It was reduced along with the new wave of MBs.

I'm pretty sure I've spec'd them the same. If there is a difference other than the colour, I can't spot it. Is this reported £20 difference one you've noticed from using the website, or did you read it somewhere?

Yeah, that's right. I must have done something wrong before. I suppose twenty quid difference isn't that much. I'll probably toss a coin in the end.

There's no mention of a thanksgiving sale on the website. I guess they just dropped the price.
