Hi, gang - it's great to see all these arrival stories. I stopped by the Sony Store in the Providence Place Mall this afternoon and got hands-on for the first time - what a great unit; I'm really excited.
Tomorrow's payday, and they're holding one for me until then - I've been coming in and bugging them about it for months, so they didn't need any convincing. I'm not sure how many they have, but there are four out in the open, tethered and on display.
Since I'm a Mac hound, I'll make a point of sharing my experiences formatting and transferring files without the Connect software. (At least at first - I'll eventually borrow access to a Windows machine, if only to redeem that $50 at the Connect store.)
My only regret is that I *must* put it down for an hour tomorrow to whet my "Lost" addiction. Moderation in all things, I guess...
