I got mine yesterday. This is PRS-500. The device looks new, but I wonder if we (all who waited for so long until Sony "recieved a new stock") got refubrished devices. One of the reason I think so, is that the packaging looks odd. Instead a big blue box, I recieved my reader in a small box (similar to what cell phone providers use for sending repaired devices).
[1] Here is how my package looks like:

[2] And this is how I believe the original retail box suppose to look like:

(sorry for using e-bay URLs, but that's where I found the pictures)
Can somebody confirm what package ([1] or [2]) he/she recieved from Sony?
Thank you in advance,

Happy reading,

PS: So, for those who just got theirs, which one was it? the 500 or the new 505??? |
