Oh, it's greed, no doubt. But the pound's dropped, what, 40%+ in the past year? Lots of exporters have already done this, and unfortunately more likely will. As to decreasing the price afterwards, you'll just have to count on copetition putting the whip to exporters.
Not a great position to be in, I know.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Sony's already passed on the cost to retailers for several of their other electronics, and not just in the U.K. It's a greed thing, sure, but it's global greed.
