Hey guys,

I'm going to Canada on March 18th and I wanted to buy the new PRS 700 for C$399. I've already sold my trusty 505 for about C$440 (if you convert it from €) so I would've gotten a free upgrade... Now it seems Sony jacked up the prices and I'll have to pay extra. Any ideas why they raised the price of the 700 (maybe REALLY high interest in it?) and if they're gonna drop anytime soon?

Or even better - do you know a retailer that still sells the 700 for C$399? Toronto area would be preferred. Dell has them listed at C$439 but I'd rather have it fit in with my old plans if possible at all.

Regards and thanks in advance,

Anthu
