edgeman Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 According to sonystyle.ca, the MZN510CKS will be available here on February 18 for $249.99. Is it worth the extra $50 to upgrade from a MZ-N505 that I bought for $199.99 (but can still reutrn) to a MZ-N510? I called Sony's Customer support and the guy I talked to had never heard of the 510! :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the question is do carkit and extra headphones worth $50 to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 $199.99 American for a 505? Were you intoxicated when you paid that much? Both have ATRAC Type R, and basically the same features. I just looked at the sonystyle.ca website though, and it said it had ATRAC Type S. I think that was a typo. I believe the 510 would be better, because it has better battery life, and a bunch of other stuff. If you have the fifty to spare, why don't you let me find you a better deal so you can get a better model? k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Do you know if the MZ-N510 will include a remote? Sony's press release at CES said it would, but the SonyStyle.ca site says it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Edgeman, Where did you find it for $199? I've only seen it for $229 lately, but I would grab it at $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen it for $229 lately, but I would grab it at $200.I bought an open box model from Future Shop. The box had been open but everything inside was still factory sealed, even the disc.

Christopher Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 I took his location into consideration when I made the reply, but the only thing I saw in terms of monetary identification was a "$". Then in your response, you say "$199.99 Canadian". I don't know how I could've known for sure if you were paying in American or Canadian. And about the intoxication thing - I wasn't being insulting, it was merely a joke. Chill out. =P k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Furthermore, if you look at the pictures of the 510, you can clearly notice: I've read about the DSP Type S stuff, but it says Type R on the model and Type S on the website. k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 It's strange. You've got apparently a Photoshop'd image on the official Sony website and an official Sony press release which looks to include incorrect information. I guess we'll just have to keep waiting until it can be clarified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn Sony though, with their stupid prototype causing all this confusion. I guess it would have made too much sense just to put Type-S on the damn picture.

Christopher Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Well, I was surprised this morning to find new and higher resolution pictures of the 510. Low and behold, look what I found: I sure wish Sony would make up their mind. So edgeman, I think the 510 would be a better investment. *shrug* k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazaam Posted March 5, 2003 Report Share Posted March 5, 2003 Cool Advice to all you Canadian shoppers: I was gonna buy the 505 from FS for 230 but then I decided to shop online, and I got the 707 for 270 CDN. I highly suggest shopping around, as well as looking on Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
