I want this so bad Embarassed Using a Sony Walkman mp3-player as my daily portable music device and their new products look really good, if only they weren't so expensive...

I guess the most embarrassing part is that I also wouldn't mind having an SDAT player as well, just because they're cool...

*glances at the Minidisc collection*

OMG this is amazing! If it wasn't so damn expensive or I was a super fan I would be on this like a loose mule in the corn patch.

Sony releases a "new" walkman and people whining about Shinji. What is this, the 90's? Laughing

Murder, She wrote:

The Walkman comes with a set of XBA-H3 headphones and a retro-styled box and retails for 87,000 yen (~US$870). Customers can opt for a version without headphones and special box for 43,000 (~US$430).


The headphones and box cost $870-$430=$440 - more than the freaking player! Better be damn good headphones and a box that makes toast for ya in the morning! Laughing

Speaking of walkmans:

Too expensive for my taste, still looks very nice. But is it really an SDAT player, or is it a MP3 player like the iPod, just disguised as an SDAT player.

Dang, that's rad (perfect term to describe it). I'd totally get it if the price wasn't so out of this world! I love Eva, but not that much.

ill take a regular walkman, its rad as all hell but theres more focus on eva merchandise than the actual anime.... well 4.0... buut there is hardly any reason for all of this merchandising in general, maybe anno wants to do something else with khara...
