Ah. Here in BC they still sell it at alot of the Sony stores. Also, you can check out Futureshop or Bestbuy, they carry the NW-A608V. It may be that the store clerk that told you it was discontinued was thinking about the NW-E507 models. I find that some of them don't really know the specs of what they're selling and can't really provide enough info on items in the store.

A608 series is discontinued? Oh man.. I think it's better than the E00 series (3 line OLED, 50 hour approx. playtime)
