That Suck's! if that turn's out ot be the case...
I feel from Sony past experiences is when the product has had it's initial release and they have sold "X" amount and sale's have settled a bit or died down a few month's to a year later they then make other colour's available to keep the sale's figures turning over.
So before you know it the machine you rushed out to buy initialy when it was released even though the colour/finish is not to your taste, they then bring out the finish/colour you wanted all along!
So annoying as i never have the patience to hold on and wait for them to bring out a wider colour choice (not in term of months anyhow) and
I don't buy all that different market trend's in various contries all been different to one another hence certain colours/finish only get released in that country.
This forum has proved there enough people from various countires who do not like the marble effect but like the Ice black version which is only available to the Style shop in Japan, it should be around the other way with the Ice finish being the primary flagahip model around the globe and the marble version a special Style only version.
Can only hope the Ice become's available as a exclusive to Sony only stores here in the UK like has happened on previous occasion's.
Another example with Sony is i am very interested in the new Cybershot T90 camera which is their new flagship compact model and the UK spec colour's will be available in Silver, Black & Red and the Brown colour i really want - NO, that is available in other countires apart from England officially and what makes me laugh with tears of disspair is the sister model (T90) & lesser feature packed model (T77) are available in a Brown colour, officially here in the uK.
I just find it ironic that every time i go for a model by Sony in the finish i like they never "officially" stock that colour here in the UK but always manage to do it in the colour i want on another model in the range. Blimmin' Crazy
I find it strange and bizaar how they do work it out.
I am sure they do it just to P*** me off!
Sony's new motto should be; You can't live with them, but you can't live without them!
I do love the old Sony's really, just so frustrating they do a lot of thing's right in excacution that other companies envy, but let them selve's down in what i feel are more common sense area's they should get right first time that would really set them apart and then really damage Apple sales!
After all that i will most probably still buy the horrid marble effect version!
(just hoping it looks better in the flesh?)
