    Went to Slough store yesterday and the manager told me, they did not sell MP3 players! they did have the Sony Walkman out on display though. Called around and none at Crawley or Croydon but two in Horsham. They held both for me until this morning, bought the dark blue and now 1 Silver left, the box has been opened but that's all. Give em a call if you are nearby as they are happy to hold for you.
  • I went into the York Staples, and the staff said that it is only the blue ones that were £79.99.
    They even had a label for the lower price on the shelf.
    They had a black one, and a white one, but I was told they were at £149.

    Very weird I thought as I left.

    So warning to anybody else going to Staples.

    I've thought about it, and I reckon they were mistaken. I reckon that it is just the 5GB model at this price, and they just hapen to have had one of those in stock. I reckon the 6GB models are at the full price whatever colour.

    Micro Direct are doing the 6gb model for £86 inc VAT

    http://www.microdirect.co.uk/productinfo.aspx?ProductID=10311

    so, an extra gb for a few quid....

    Price is showing as £147.35 (including VAT) on this site.

    I've had my eye on this particular MP3 player for a while and the cheapest I can find them is at Costco at about £136. Just tried my local Staples (Leeds) and they do not stock them otherwise I'd have snapped them up. Not bothered if they are 5 or 6gb. (I'm actually after 2 - belated present for twin sons!) Just wondered what is the cheapest price other people have found these for, other than this excellent Staples price?
