0 Ascariss Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 The new players will work just fine with sonicstage, the HDD based ones will have limitations with some functions but I do believe that the A600 will work fine with SS but these features migth not work:- new "Intelligent shuffle" feature: 1) Most frequently listened tunes shuffle mode2) Time/Date based shuffle mode3) Artist link shuffle mode and4) Sports shuffle mode.Since I do believe they are dependent on the new CP software.

0 lamewing Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Stuge,would the FM on the UK ones work in US? Hmmm might still be expensive to import...←Japanese radio freqs are 76 to 90, so you will loose stations from 91 to 107Mhz.Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ascariss Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Saw saw 2 models at the sony store here, odd didn't notice them at first, since they weren't really advertised that much. 2 colours, the silver and the blue, well violet but it looks like a deep blue at the store, and when i compared it to the violet A1000 at the store, the 608 had a different colour than the violet on the A1000.here is the colour:the far right one. I seriously doubt canada will get the Emerald Blue and Gold limited edition ones. price is 249.99 Can, plus taxes.I guess good for those people who want to pick them up via canada instead of japan for the radio function and of course perhaps a warrenty of sorts, since you can send it the person who bought it for you here to get it fixed lol.

0 Guest Stuge Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Thanks Ascariss,But i was confused when you mention them with the Emerald Blue& gold..But are you planning to buy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ascariss Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 I have no need for flash, 2 gigs is not enough for me either, I need at least 5 gigs for my mp3s. perhaps if I get some extra cash after the holidays I will pick one up, but for now the A1000 is fine and my A3000 which is coming in soon, east coast just got their shipment, meaning west coast is next, is also fine, and at 20 gigs, its plenty for my collection.

0 WMah Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hrm are the A608's really sonystyle exclusive in Canada? I just recieved today's BestBuy flyer as well as checked their website and it seems they are carrying the violet 608's... I wonder (hope they do) if they will get the silver ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ascariss Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Ya, it's on the website, NW-A608Vhttp://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.a...278&catid=23693Very interesting find WMah, just checked, no A3000s though. Sales at BB should help out the overall sales of the unit. Checked Futureshop. not there. I am curious how BB got ahold of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WMah Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 yeah i'm curious too... do you think bb will get a hold of the silver 608's or should i jump on the purple ones while it's still available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ascariss Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Why not buy a silver one from the sony store, same price and they are available there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WMah Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I like bestbuy's extention warranty (product performance plan). It covers built in batteries so it's pretty much a free upgrade in 3 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 WMah Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 it doesn't matter if sony authorizes it or not. It's part of best buy's plan which i pay extra money for. After the manufacturer's 1 yr is up they will send your item out to the depot where they would attempt to fix it. Sometimes they might order a battery from sony and replace the battery. But since over 3 years you can get a fresh battery each year, the policy also has a no-lemon portion which means after 3 times of service they replace your item. I've heard numerous people get replacements on first try or an eventual replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Stuge Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 WMAH,How much you are required to pay for extented warrenty ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WMah Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 usually it costs a percentage of the price of the product... when i bought my hd1, it was 500 bux for the player and the 3 yr warranty was nearly 90 bux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 WMah Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 np... does anyone know if there's anyway one can find out whether or not best buy would get a certain item? (Namely, the silver 608? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ascariss Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Go to the store, and ask about the blue A608, look at it, and then ask if they know if they will also have the silver model available soon? if he/she says that they don't know, ask them to check on the pc if they have been ordered or pre-ordered. It's worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 WMah Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 oh they usually have it in their computers what is on order and stuff? cool i'll go after the holiday rush subsides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
