Still, I recall the same thing with the 500 back in 07.

I walked into my local sonystyle store yesterday to purchase a 2 year extention to my warranty.
They were selling, and had in stock, the PRS-505 silver and red models.
The PRS-700 display only had the end of a security cable.
I asked the clerk about the PRS-700 and he said they were out of stock. I questioned him on the rumours that both models were being discontinued. His vague response was that "models are often discontinued when newer versions are released", which revealed little and I questioned no further.
I was assured that if, under warranty, my PRS-700 needed to be replaced, it would be replaced with the same model or one of equal or better value if the same model was unavailable.
