I can't wait to get one of this!

I was looking hard at that.

Sony style had one on their outlet for like $1199, refurb of course, but hell for $500 off....

[JToddler]

The MSRP is US$1699.99 but I am looking for something less than that!

Watch the Sonystyle.com outlet. Like I said, they had this for about $1199 for about 4 wks on there

$1200 is definitely a price I could almost justify. heh I'll have to keep my eyes out for a refurb 4300.
