View Full Version : At the airport kirisafar 10-28-2008, 08:19 PM Hi, I'm going to be at Los Angeles Airport in November 19. Is there any way I could buy it when I am there? Thank you. daffy4u 10-28-2008, 08:29 PM Do you mean "inside" the airport or nearby? I don't know about inside the airport but there is a Target store in Culver City you could visit if you have a long enough lay-over. Of course it would be best to call once you land to make sure they have one in stock before you head out. kirisafar 10-28-2008, 10:24 PM Yeah I was hoping for a Sony Store inside the airport. Thank you RickyMaveety 10-28-2008, 10:32 PM Can't you just order one online, either from SONY or from Target?? pilotbob 10-28-2008, 10:38 PM Yeah I was hoping for a Sony Store inside the airport. Thank you There may be a vending machine that has one. I know people have mentioned seeing them... don't remember what airports though. Also, check to see if there is a Borders at the airport... if so, they may have it. Here's a thread with a pic of the vending machine. http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20243 BOb daffy4u 10-28-2008, 10:46 PM I was assuming (probably wrongly) that kirisafar was traveling through from out of the country and wanted a U.S. version of the Sony. desertgrandma 10-28-2008, 10:55 PM L.A Airport Website Lists a Brookstone in Terminal 1 (100Terminal Way) the Brookstone website lists a Sony for $299........don't know if the airport store carries them.. desertgrandma 10-28-2008, 10:57 PM Phone number for Brookstone at the airport (310) 649-4297 kirisafar 10-29-2008, 08:37 AM Wow thank you everybody, yes as daffy4u says I'm from Mexico to New Zealand through LAX and wanted to buy the e-reader hopefully a 700 series. Bokkie 10-29-2008, 03:16 PM Yeah I was hoping for a Sony Store inside the airport. Thank you Don't waste your time at the airport Sony Stores. We flew out to the US the day after the 505 was officially launched in the UK, sometime around the 3nd September. Even with the tax saved at the airport it was still about £15 more expensive than in the high street. Know your prices in advance and then you'll soon see that airports are not necessarily the place to save money. humzai 10-29-2008, 06:04 PM I do not think he wants to buy it from an airport based on monetary factors. He wants the device right after launch with minimum hassle. kirisafar 10-30-2008, 04:23 PM You're right humzai, I'll be living in New Zealand for at least a year and I don't want to wait or pay the premium whenever it arrives there. mcramer 10-31-2008, 01:43 AM I don't want to wait or pay the premium whenever it arrives there. Good luck with that! No 500 at any stage. No 505 yet so I bought mine in the US when there on business. Australia hasn't seen it yet. If you wait it may be a futile one....... Of course if I'm wrong then great stuff and I'll be wandering along to the Wellington Sony Style for a look-see even with the NZD being so weak :) |
