Buy.com has the brown one new stock for preorder at $99 with free shipping. I ordered one for my son for a Christmas present. He and I will be able to exchange files when he gets his.

Maybe it's not a great price. I quit looking at them after I decided to stay with my 595s. I just thought from what I remembered that it was better than I'd seen, so I passed it along. Please excuse if this is old news or an average deal.

That's a good price, right? I saw J&R selling them for that and hadn't seen a post about it here. I figured it's alright to pass the information along. Does that mean HD700s are not far behind?

I will. At least I found some info on getting through the problem without calling tech support. I just wish the battery would hurry up and die so I can attempt it. At least my pocket vaio has a removeable battery. I had it lock up and simply unplugging and replugging the battery cured it.

I got mine today too. Unfortunately, mine locked up with the battery/plug symbol showing. Apparently, this is a known issue that happens to some new units. I am supposed to let the battery die completely and try again. In the meantime I can't turn it on, off, reset, or anything. Very frustrating.

I ordered today (Friday)

I had to get one. I've bought from woot twice before with no problems. I'd like to know about gapless too. My 40G pocket vaio has done gapless for like two years, but it's getting old and cranky, like me.

Buying the Dylan boxed set pushed him to the top of my collection. Second is probably the Beatles.

I ordered a front projection lcd from them a couple of years ago. It arrived with no problems. This was a huge ticket item and I would use them again. I had no local store or service for the projector, so that factored into my purchase decision.

I am the new owner of #008.

I have the pocket vaio and mistakenly used 64k atrac for an album (Beck's Sea Change). While I don't think 64k mp3s are listenable for much more than audio books, the 64k atrac files sound pretty good to me. If I am using sonicstage normally, I'm trying atrac advanced 132k lossless as opposed to...

Sovkiller, My 595s came with a nice little holder. I did a ghetto version for this contest because it was fun. By the way, I named my holder the iSwiffer nano Valhalla, as reflected in my edited post.
