I just ordered the 08.1 update from Sewell Lexus parts online. and they currently have a great price. Use the promo code on their website for an immediate $50 discount and if you send them your former DVD they send a $50 rebate. So the net for me is $199.99 after rebate.

I'll post my view of the updates after using it for a few weeks.
