No kidding huh???? 250.00 for an 8GB? F that!
Poor Sony. I do love their electronics as they are feature rich for a low price (usually) but they're just getting their asses pushed right aside.
Before we all know it......Sony will ONLY deal in the PS3, PS4 and some blu-ray players (while they're still around). TV division is struggling and now their "Walkman". They really need to reinvent themselves.

Who will buy ps4 when Nintendo and Microsoft will own the market for about two years before Sony makes it debut? And even then will the ps4 have a $600 price tag?

Proprietary... Expensive... Fragile... WTF... Do I have to pay for Butt F**ing stupid too?
I'm really tired of this... After working so long in the entertainment industry & seeing the profuse price bloating of Sony's products in that atmosphere & then see it echoed in the pro-sumer market when it meant a 'little' bit, then to see it reflected again in the consumer electronic field, yet again when it could be seen as having yielded some mentioning... Given the last 12-15 years? SCREW IT!!!
They have blown it! We all know where they have gone & the reasons why they have lost the consumer base. This is just one more product that just goes to prove it.
Sometimes I wonder why I waste the keystrokes...

Crap... You know, Alzheimer moment... I forgot I even do that, it has become so second nature any more. I even have MP3s on my phone as well. It plays wonderfully, better than the damned iPud I had a while back. No sense in changing now.
Thanks for reminding me...

LOL - Exactly; Why buy this expensive, fragile, DRM-laden POS when most people already have a device that'll do the same job, better, and even if they don't already, they can get a superior product for less? I don't like Apple much, but damn, I'd get an iDevice before THIS thing.

Really? How do they pretend to succeed? There are better and bigger players for less money!!
I wonder what's wrong with Sony?
