I have a basically new Black Sony A808 player I bought while I was in Asia from the SonyStyle store. It cost me 310 plus tax. I've used it for less than 15 hours. It was a limited edition package, so it came with a leather carry case, decal stickers for the back of the player, a leather carry strap, and a screen protector. I already put the screen protector on but everything else is unused.

It will come with usb cable, all original paperwork and cd. Leather case and strap, decal stickers. Headphones will not be included. Everything is in mint condition with no scratches. Price is 120 shipped priority mail within the contUS. Feel free to make me an offer.

why are you selling, can I ask? is this what you could buy only in Japan / Asia and is it workable in the US? And...
How does it compare with the Sony 810 and 818's?

can't find much background on the 808s.

It's EXACTLY the same as the 81x series except for the software. The 818 uses drag and drop or syncing with WMP, but doesn't offer on-the-fly playlists, gapless playback, deletion from the unit (need to hook up to a PC).

The 808 uses SonicStage and Atrac. The latest version of SS is fine, but the earlier versions were more unpredictable. The 808 plays gapless (via Atrac), deletion directly from the unit and on-the-fly playlists. I will probably sell mine to since I have the 829 and 706!

When the 81x first went on sale, Sony actually described it on their website as the Atrac/SS-free 808. So they're the same bar the software. Hope that helps.

EDIT: The A808 was freely available outside Japan (I got mine from Amazon UK), so yes, it's 'workable' in the US.
