Streetgang yes indeed my dads Project record deck cost £1,300 he is a purist listening to classical on vinyl. The needle cost £100 alone but all that was a treat for himself when he had equity on his house
Yes the sound is fab you can hardly hear any scratches even if there is any. CD some people say is inferior sound but its a case of either you have a very sharp critical ear or you dont notice and dont care. Me im not bothered but its nostalgic and looks cool seeing the old record going round. I used to love when i was younger buying my fave albums on vinyl something about it. Sorry going off topic.

Lol memories of the bad old days was cassette tapes. Hiss hiss hiss tangled tapes dragging slowing down slow winding. My dad used to have an old massive gramaphone as big as a cabinet. The record deck the way it used to operate was quality engineering. Record used to drop down and the arm moved by itself to play or stop. Cool lol my parents used to play old Abba records on it or my mom with Irish music

Well this is now out in NZ and it's overcutting the iPod Touch in price quite considerably. Here the iPod Touch retails for $498 (16GB) & $659 (32GB). That's about £190 or £250 respectively. The Sony is going for $600 & $800 (£230 & £308).
I'll probably still buy one, but are the prices this bad where you guys are?

Getting this tomorrow. Well today now...
I'll let anyone that's interested know how it is. I was surprised to find not many videos on youtube of it actually properly in use. There's just a bunch of trade show hands-on videos which are really crap for giving you a feel for what its like.

@Muhammad-Oli
surely its not out in NZ? Its not even on the aussie Sony site?
anyway, theres a couple walk through videos on enagdget.
uk guys, its been available in the uk for couple weeks now. check out the forums over at Head-Fi. theres a dedicated thread for it where quite a few people own it. and think it sounds slightly better than the s738, which is already one of the best sounding players on the market already.
