not bad at all for the a800 player, i went to sydney sony shop, the guy said it's 2 gb for 299AUD, 4gb for 399AUD, 8GB for 499AUD, it's higher than other countries or did he say the wrong prices, just let all of the down under mates know.....it's expensive, well then the guy said only japan has this right now, but hongkong is selling 8gb for 310AUD right now with alot of stocks, i guess the sony guy really need to come to atraclife and have a look just how slow his information is. anyway australia will have this in one or two weeks time once again the sony dude said that. much better getting it in other parts of the world if u have some ways to do this, but 8G for 499......i thought that guy was drunk, i only paid 209AUD for nw-a1000, i probably will get it from hongkong online by the way for all of the down under mates, u guys can go to other sony dealers like bing lee and jb hi fi to buy stuff rather than going to sony central, check on offical australia sony site, there are more stores selling the same thing at a cheaper price, such as the nw-a1000 for 209AUD in bing lee a year ago, but in sony central with no any bonus they sold nw-a1000 for 349AUD then now still they sell it for 269AUD
