Sony Minidisc Walkman - £39.99 inc P&P (Argos Price £129)

RRP £99.99 apparently, so a 59% saving

Not really up on Minidisc, so I'm not sure what prices are *really* like, but it seems like a good deal

Amazon

  • Just checked and these are £129 at argos - definately a good deal I think
  • For those who prefer silver...Amazon.
  • I guess with the I-pod's being the "in thing" at the moment then the sales of these are suffering.
    Similar prices can be found on ebay ;)
    ** Mobile Phones.... I'm here to help **

    Unlikely to be a missprice more likely to be the fact that minidiscs are going out of fashion.

  • Were they ever *in* fashion?? :rotfl:

    I'm not really a music-on-the-move person, but it seems like a good deal if you're in the market for one of these anyway

    I have to say, its more £40 wasted, than £60 saved.
    I sold mine years ago, just after they came out.
    Nobody wants them anymore, they are outdated. Even a 256mb Mp3 player is a better purchase.
    I for one couldnt be bothered with the hassle of transferring my music onto minidiscs, then carrying them around.
    Technology has moved on!
    But, if you are a minidisc fan (I cant see why tho :P) and you want another cheap one, then you wont find them much cheaper from a high street store.
    Then again, not many shops sell them... which again tells its own story.
    Be nice
