Just Got a 505 at 40% Off!

MickeyC · 01-04-2008, 02:06 PM

Wandered into a Sony Style store this afternoon and casually asked about the Sony Reader and was delighted when the salesman told me they were selling their window display models at 40% off. These were not the normal display models that customers handle but rather models in the window that were part of the store's Christmas display. I'd seen these there but it didn't dawn on me they'd be offered at such a discount.

It's charging up now and I plan to be happily reading later today.

And, they have few more available at that price. If you're interested and in the DC area, get over to Crystal Mall in Crystal City in Northern VA.

Got to say THANKS for the info cassidym.

Just got back from grabbing one from Pentagon City Mall (you had the wrong mall listed

)

I think that all the display models have been sold now. There was someone buying what I think was the last one when I left.

that is a great deal, if I didn't live in the sticks I'd be hunting one of them down.

Sorry about getting the mall name wrong but delighted you got one.

That was just dumb luck for me. I was running errands in the area and just stopped in to check it out as I was planning on buying one in the New Year.

Let me know how you like it.

I can't find a 505 anywhere, sold out. Even Sony's website

No apology needed... I knew which mall had the sony store in it anyway

I've had the PRS-500 for about a year now and love it, just couldn't talk myself into buy the 505 before this.

Again THANKS for passing this info along.

I saw this link in another thread in the forum. The site says available for order but you may want to call to confirm before buying the 505-

As it was said B&H got it. They just rised the price by $11. You have to wait until the end of Saturday in order to place an order though.
