a lot of nice features for audiophiles. I love me some FLAC but that price isnt for me, I guess its targeted at a very specific audience XD

This doesn't even play actual cassettes how am I suppose to listen to my Motorhead cassettes now Sony!?

Seriously though, that battery life and memory are something if they only knocked down a couple of zeroes off of that price as well as a 12$ discount I'd totally get it.

Wut?

Seems to me that Sony's issue has always been the price. They have very high quality products but the price is just way too much when others offer a similar thing for cheaper. Doesn't seem like they have learned their lesson yet either.

Samsung and co cant offer you something similiar at all, the thing has high res

What does it mean by 'Bringing Walkman Back'? They have been selling affordable walkmans too for quite some time, right?

$1200 is a lot but then I remember I have friends who buy £300 headphones and not just a headset but several.

It's just a music player. Other companies offer similar things at lower prices. Maybe they aren't as high quality, I don't know and don't really care, but I'm not saying equal things, only similar.

no its not, it offers studio quality sound. I can say that to every device and say this and that is cheaper as long as it shows me a picture or sound.
