just ordered a prs-950 and a zip case from Adorama. Getting it shipped to a US address set up by hopshopngo who will forward it to Australia for me. I got 1kg of free shipping from them in a recent promotion. Problem is it expires on 31st of December and I've now received an email from Adorama sayin that they're out of stock and the items are on back order. They expect the case to arrive on the 26th and have no idea when the reader itself will arrive.. all in all it seems unlikely that I will get my order before the 31st and looks more than likely that I will have to fork out another 50 bucks or so for shipping.. *sigh

They ship to Canada, too! Why does it say to pre-order the 950 even though it's already out? Does that mean they don't have any in stock?

Looks like everyone that has listed it at 250 is out of stock. B&H just lowered their price to 250 and ran out of stock within hours.

I just checked the Sony Style website again and they still have the 650 for $229, and for the black it says: No longer available for purchase at Sony Style.
I presume this means they are sold out?
Why are they not honoring the price that was in the advertisement?
Anybody had any luck finding out why it hasn't been changed online?

In the brick/mortar store, or the online store? I got the $199 over the phone, with free expedited shipping.

Online still shows $229, but they gave me the lowered price when I asked. They said the actual stores should also have it at the $199. Note that I had to ask for the lower price to get it, and I would bet you'll need to do the same at the brick/mortar Sony style, maybe even bring in the ad with you.

My question was about the brick-and-morter stores. Before I make a trip over to one, I was wondering what experience people had trying to get the $199 price there.

you might call the store, mention the ad, and see what they say.

I just spoke to Lou @ Sony Style customer service. She said that the $199 sale on the PRS 650 has been "canceled" because they are completely out of stock. They do not anticipate being able to ship the black 650 until at least MARCH. The red is also out of stock, and she said they are not sure "when or IF" they will be back in stock.

I was very surprised by this information (if she was telling me the truth), especially because they haven't been out long. Are they discontinuing the 650?

Now I'm not quite sure what to do. I don't want the Pocket Edition or the Daily. I love my 600, but I really wanted a new display.

The out-of-stock case was my guess. Can't do a discount if you don't have anything to sell. At least it's an indication that the demand is good.

I ordered a 650 Monday, it shipped Tuesday, and I received it today. Not to rub it in (sorry), but to say...

It is definitely NOT discontinued!

Someone started this rumor in another thread the last time the 650 sold out, and there is absolutely no evidence to support it.

a) Remember the Kindle? At least one revision sold out immediately and had a supremely long wait -- months -- for restock. We're looking at something similar.

b) The 6'' e-Ink screen is the most popular size. The PRS-650 is the only Sony with that screen. That's the one that's most desirable, and most likely to sell out.

c) See (b)! You don't discontinue the model with the screen that been historically the most popular! Right after introduction no less!!

If you can be patient, I would say wait for the restock, or go to a Sony Style store. I'm betting those are still in stock. You may also try calling a Sony Style store and seeing if they'll ship one to you after you explain the stock issue.

Just wanted to share the observation that the Sony flyer in this weekend's St. Louis Post-Dispatch that has sale prices for the Dec. 19-25 period does not even mention Sony readers.
