air-lambo23 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hi FolksJust joined this forum. Was a creative zen man until I bought the NW-A808 player. The quality was really good and sharp especially with my MDR-EX90LP headphones! The video quality is really smooth as well!Since I am in japan I can get these items cheaply safely! Please check my ebay auction!http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/air-lambo23/Any questions feel free to ask!Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyris1 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 This is actually where I got my NW-A808 and crystal case from (I live in the UK and didn't want to wait until May for the release of the EU-volume limited version!) Great to see you on the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
air-lambo23 Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hope you liked the player!! I'm been really impressed so far. I bought a few to sell on ebay but whilst taking pictures i couldn't resist playing with it and ended up keeping one. So now I have to get rid of my Zen v plus player!

lyris1 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I love it, and wrote about it on my site here (pictures included): http://www.lyris-lite.net/2007/03/sony_nwa...go_get_one.htmlNo customs charge at all, which is strange, I'm assuming the British Tax Goons don't understand what the Yen is worth? I'm not complaining! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascariss Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 not bad price, but only for people living in the UK.at a 162 pounds, this comes out to $366 canadian which is sadly a rip off when the 8 gig player, in 3 different colours can be bought here starting on the 18th for 299 plus taxes, which is around 132 pounds. plus the warrenty here is covered, not sure how an international warrenty would work. plus with shipping its not even worth it, the nano here is 299 and if you want to sell to canada I would seriously recommend lowering your price.

air-lambo23 Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I am aiming at the UK market. Unfortunately everything in the Uk cost a fortune with the PS3 being a good example!How much would the item be in Canada including tax and a official sony screen protector?

AntiPod Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Ascariss just said it: 132 pounds for the unit plus taxwe don have the official screen protector here, and i don think many ppl would really buy it instead of the cheaper oneson the sony jp site, the screen protector costs 980 yen, roughly $10 in canadian dollars. That'll be a lot cheaper than the price stated even if the screen protector is included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyris1 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) I'm happy with the price paid, a good chunk of it was for Shipping & Handling, and when you consider that the price paid in Japan is about 140 pounds, the 22 pound mark-up is by no means extortionate.All in all, thanks to air-lambo I got the NW-A808 non-Euro-limited version and the crystal case for the same price I'd have paid in the UK for the volume limited version on its own (and that's when it's released in May).That Canadian price is fantastic, though.
