I have a US version NH-600D, UNIT ONLY, up for sale. $15 shipped to cont. US. Will take paypal non-cc and ship to confirmed address. Pls pm or reply if you are interested. Thanks. update: sold to A WHOLE LOT

I would say do not worry about software, worry instead whether the flimsy NH600Ds can last you 5 years.

Not going to happen, though I like to see it happen as much as you do. This will require SONY to entirely ditch any DRM mechanism in the MD/HiMd system, and that may be a bit too much to expect from a media giant.

And do not forget you got a better Remote, so you are not really losing here.

I have quitted recording music on MD/HiMD since early 2006. To be exact, I have abandoned all players that do not allow free, unrestricted transfer of files as a mass storage device. Unfortunately, not many choices in US. I now only use my RH1 for audio books and the like, since I fail to find another player in the market that has (1) an error-free and precise resume function, which is very important ; (2) A full-functional remote control, and I truly do not understand why it seems no one cares about this in US consumer market. RH1 is a very nice player hardware-wise. I may acquire another one before it goes antique just for collection and fond rememberance, since I have been dealing with the format for more than 10 years. But rightnow, I have had enough with that BS SonicStage.

The handy remote is one big plus for MD/HiMD over most other PMP, say, Ipod. I always find it amusing seeing people walking and holding their I-whatever since they have otherwise no way to control it.

By "cheating on MSRP", I meant listing an arbitrarily high and unreal price to create an impression of huge discount, like the "$499 MSRP" we may see on the site.

I see no reason that you want to choose the company over minidisco. I may trust ebay Chinese sellers more than those no-name NY company, and I do not care for the practice of cheating on MSRP.
