Try this before spending your money...VERY easy to do and only takes a few minutes.
For those that have the UK version and want to convert it to the US version I highly recommend following this post in xoomforums.com. I did it in about 15 minutes at work. Once its done it you get all the OTA's and will end up with ICS!! This is not rooting just unlocking the bootloader.
ics update for UK xoom users?
I believe its post #6 or 7...the long one
