0 Guest Stuge Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hey guys,Play.com have a release date of 30th April with a price tag of �249, a saving of �34 on the Amazon price.I just cancelled my Amazon order and re-ordered from Play.comhttp://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronic...tml?source=9316YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. It's coming!!!!!!44 days and counting so ,did you lost any amount due to canceling of the order from amazon ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 juli Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 so ,did you lost any amount due to canceling of the order from amazon ? No nothing at all. They dont charge the card until the goods are dispatched and you always have the option of cancelling an order before it's gone through the dispatch process anyway, no fees incurred at all.But worryingly, I just got an email through from Amazon, saying: Unfortunately, the release date for the item(s) listed below was changed by the supplier, and we need to provide you with a new estimated delivery date based on the new release date:"Sony Walkman NWZX1060B X Series with 32GB" [Electronics]Estimated arrival date: 12/05/09 - 13/05/09 Last update was for a release date of 10th May, so if Sony have delayed that by another couple of days, then how come Play.com is listing the release date as April 30th? What's going on??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dura Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 You people are fast! I just got the notification from play.com, wanted to post about it, and..too late.Good for you Juli, 34BP is a nice evening in town.But I doubt it will make any difference on the delivery date; the way I see it, there is literally a box of the players coming to the UK; there it gets distributed among dealers, they help their customers, so it is all the same deliverance from the Far East.

But with 32GB available, it's enough room for me to be able to put at least 10 albums on in WAV, and still leave enough room for everything else I want on it, with around 5GB to spare. So the lack of gapless doesn't bother me because I can just get round it that way. I just thank the Sony God it can play WAV! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 sxc Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well the ipod touch is going to have A2DP built in soon. So the value proposition of this X-series just decreased...typical Sony always on the backfoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ascariss Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well the ipod touch is going to have A2DP built in soon. So the value proposition of this X-series just decreased...typical Sony always on the backfoot.the NWZA829B here in canada has it built in and even if I bought the player, for capacity only, I wouldn't even use the bluetooth option, since it is just re-encoding lossy music, and this results in more loss of quality. So bluetooth is overrated. besides the bluetooth adapter that plugs in via the WM port will work on the X series but I don't think many people wanted bluetooth, otherwise it would be offered.

0 dura Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 For me it is primarily a music player, living in my pocket.Value to me is sound quality, build quality, memory size and batterylife. Couldn't care less about other things, like wireless, touchscreen, the possibility to watch video (got a tv, monitor and netbook for that) etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOOOOO! which specs have you seen? ive only seen the hong kong sony site...well i suppose i can wait untill futher information, or perhaps get an ipod touch (if that has gapless),as much as i want to get the sony...by '10 albums in WAV' do you mean that that you convert the whole album to one song, so there are no gaps at all?thats just ruined my day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 juli Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 by '10 albums in WAV' do you mean that that you convert the whole album to one song, so there are no gaps at all?No!!! It doesn't come out as one song. You just rip the CD in WAV, transfer the tracks to the Sony - and you'll get all the individual tracks played back exactly as the CD, without gaps. But you'll still be able to select separate tracks The specs I've seen are from the 'journaldegeek' site (think there's a link in this thread a few pages back) - but supported audio formats seem to the usual suspects we've seen on previous Sony's, so no change that I can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Anthony Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Contacted Advanced MP3 players about pre-order details. This is the reply.Hi Anthony,Thank you for your email. I'm afraid that Sony have not yet released an arrival date for this new player; although we will indeed be carrying it when available. The only thing I can think to suggest would be to keep an eye on our news section as information will be posted there when received.Kind Regards, Elliot Holmes (Advanced MP3 Players) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ShanieAIBO Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Well, I shouldn't really be saying but as it's near release, what I do know officially about the X-series Walkman for the UK is:-1) Trade Price for UK stores will be £178 for the 16GB and £235 for the 32GB.2) The official launch for Sony Style and Sony Centre stores is expected in mid April. Mid/End May for other retail outlets.3) It will have 30 hours music and 8 hours video playback on one full charge. Features FM Radio, Podcast download function, WiFi...4) A premium leather case officially licensed for the X-series Walkman made by company called Proporta (looks a bit like the one Sony made for the NWZ-A820-series) as its main accessory coming in Black, Brown, Mulberry and Teal colours.5) Unit only comes in Black in UK...

0 shirleywhite Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hi ShanieAIBO ! Welcome too from me to the forum. Most of the regulars here are Sony fans - desparate to get our hands on what sounds like a superb new gadget!! £235 is actually a bit less than some people were speculating - I'm personally very very interested in the wifi side of things - what will the browser allow us to do re downloading/streaming/saving etc etc You said the Proporta case is similar to Sony's for the 820. (Presume you mean the leather one?) I've got a Sony case for my 829 - not 100% happy with it!!!! The "backplate" thingie which the 829 clips onto is a bit cumbersome (IMHO) and I dont like the closure being one of those "magnetic" ones (again IMHO) I've got an 808 which is in a Noreve leather case - the unit is held in "on all sides" and a proper clip/fastener - I'll probably hold out for a Noreve case for my X1060.
