PRS 700 Not Available in Canada until 11/24

ewiplayer · 11-10-2008, 10:56 AM

Ugh... After agonizing over what to buy for my first reader, and eventually settling on the PRS 700, I find out that it's due out to Canadian stores on 11/24. For all the other Canucks out there... we gotta wait. Hang in there folks.

Hrm, I'm trying hard to decide if I want a 700, but this means I'll have to wait a while in any event. I'm trying to persuade my husband that he wants my 505, which means I have to buy a new one ...

B&h ships worldwide, and they'll start shipping the PRS-700 at the same
time as every other non-sony stores (probably 11/14).

Thanks, but I like the comfort of being able to walk into my local Sony Store and handing the thing back, getting an immediate refund, an immediate exchange... you know.

Guys, you are spoiled.

700 Not available in the UK until...indefinite ...

sarah7700 · 11-11-2008, 07:24 AM

Yeah, I was so upset when I saw that they pushed the date from the 17th to the 24th...

Yeah, it's all relative... sorry about your luck, mate. But, remember, it's a hell of a lot easier and economical to get a BeBook or other type of devices from the UK as well. So we're all screwed in our own way

Hey, it's going to actually be available in stores here though? So I can go check it out in person? I thought it was only available online.

They don't have them in the stores in Canada on display yet, and I don't know when they will get them in. I live in NS and it was quite a while before the Sony Store near me had 505s in stock.

I put one on hold just so I can compare it with 505? It's coming this Monday I can't wait...Merry Christmas to me...Merry Christmas to me.....Yiipy

sarah7700 · 11-18-2008, 06:43 PM

It is in stock in the Canada Sony Store now

Depends on where you are, I think. The Sony Stores here in Ottawa don't seem to have them in (last week they said they would, but I called around this afternoon and no one has one yet), although the one I pre-ordered from sonystyle.ca showed up today.

Hope I won't have the same problem here in T.O...How do you like your new PRS 700?
