Gee, that's a hard decision to make. Does anyone know yet if the new sony has faster processor?
We are not sure when it comes out yet. Is it gonna be in next month or on oct 1st.
I think I might return it since you got it for 269. You could pick up the new touch screen one for 299 and it's newer tech.
Now I picked up the 505 for 150 on sony deal , so for me I wouldn't return it for newer 5 or 6 inch model.
I understand your conflicted feelings. What type of return policy does costco have on a device like this, if you have a few months , you can hold on to it and return it if the new models get rave reviews. If I bought it from costco I would hold onto everything, box, and everything and return it. I could be that the new models are not as good. The 505 turned out to be BETTER than the 700. And we don't know if sony cut corners on new models. We don't know.
