you've gotta be kidding me...damn

So does that mean that they have some sort of on-order waiting list and the one they got in stock automatically goes to the first person on that list?

Here is my address: Norick@Norick.cjb.net I also sent you my details (email address, etc...) through private message. I'm obviously ok to make the transaction Keep me posted EDIT: I saw you might have received other private messages, but I hope we still have a "deal"

Ok, sure np, take your time and think about it. Just keep me posted once you've made a decision (and about that warranty issue). I'll take it for £185, no problem. And if that can help you make up your mind (considering a new RH10 model costs about 220/240 euros), I can even offer you £200 (if the unit is in tiptop shape) (ps: you still have the original box, right?)

Holy shit! My brother lives in London (his zip code is SE16 5XL), so no need to wire money and deal with shipment issues I can EASILY arrange for you two to meet there in person and make the transaction as if it was me meeting you (and he pays cash). No problem. Just tell me 2 things: your price, and if I can still use the product warranty, despite the fact that it is YOUR unit (and how long that warranty is). Please keep me posted

I don't have a RH10, but depending on where you live, what I can do for you is buy your RH1 for a price which, believe me, will allow you to purchase any RH10 you want (and obviously you'll even have some extra cash after that). Let me know if you're interested.

This RH1 release plan (if it can be called that way) is really getting ridiculous. Its june now, and it looks like even the most up-to-date and dedicated stores only expect 3 to 5 units overall in the next 3 weeks (I still remember when Sony officially announced a wide May 2006 release). I don't know if this is Sony trying to create a buzz or just screwing things up again, but it makes me wonder whether or not that RH1 is ever gonna be released on a regular basis. Oh well, I'll still have my brother wander the streets of London to get me one (lucky for me he lives there, because here in Paris the situation is way worse for minidisc fans).

I for one think I may be addicted to minidisc units. I have 21 units, although I use an Ipod on a daily basis Heres my current collection (all boxed, all in perfect working condition): >> Recorders: Sony MZ1 - Sony MZR2 - Sony MZR3 - Sharp MS100 - Sharp MS200 - Sony MZR30 - Panasonic SJ.MR200 - Sony MZR900 - Sony MZR909 - Sony MZG755 - Sony MZN1 - Sony MZN10 >> Players: Sharp MDD10 - Sony MZE3 - Sony MZE20 - Sony MZ-F40 - Sony MZE25 - JVC XMP55 - Sony MZE500 - Sharp ST770 - Sony MZE909 - Sony MZE10 ...and counting. I haven't switched to Hi-MD yet, but I soon will since I'm planning on buying a RH1 when it comes out.

Thanks for the quick reply and the comprehensive link.

Hey again, I have a question which might have been asked already, but I can't find the answer: with all this non backward compatibilty issue (HiMD recording mode ONLY, No LP2/4, etc...), will we be able to format our old blanks (regular 74/80 mds), or are these new units designed for exclusive HiMD blanks support? Thanks in adv

I here ya. As far as I'm concerned it's more a question of depth. Im always looking for slimness over height or width, and in this particular case, I'm a tad disappointed. Oh well, maybe I'm being too picky here, I don't know...

Quite a shame Sony came up with a slightly bulkier unit on this one. I'd hoped the slim and tiny trend could/would continue. Very good thing is the mp3 direct-recording capability, though...And I'm somehow pleased to see that the remote control isn't as bad as I thought it'd be (some comments here were pretty negative - I even thought it'd be a non LCD rc). As to the release date, I assume its a Japanese release date, huh? damn...can't wait till they get here, just to see whether or not this bulkiness isn't too much of a turn off.
