I called the sonystyle store in San Antonio (will be going there in late September). And asked him about refurbs ... he said the outlet store in San Marcos deals in refurbs. He checked their stock for the PRS-505 ... $279 for new in San Antonio or refurb for $269 (with only 90 days warantee) in San Marcus.

At least where I am concerned ... I'd rather get the new for $10 more with a longer warrantee.

I asked if he thought the price might come down once the 300 & 600 hit the shelves. He said the $279 was already a price drop for the 505 from the $299.

YMMV
