    My waiting is over now. JR.com has dozen of sz160 in stock.
    The guy from JR was really cool, so I could make my order quickly.
    I ordered yesterday evening, and It will be delivered today!!!
    I'll post a review when I receive this.

    I ordered from them last night too. They are a good company and a Sony authorized reseller. I've bought many things from them in the past. Hope you got free shipping too. They offer it on most things but the 160 didn't qualify. I just asked for it.. No problem, shipped free. Good luck.

    Looks like some horror stories on resellerratings.com. especially with laptps, and only a 6.77 lifetime rating...Let me know if you get yours and I will re-consider them.

    I ordered a 160 from them about a month ago (they gave me a discount). It shipped yesterday and should arrive today. Now I am more worried about UPS getting it to me intact. We shall see.

    Thanks Pogboi!

    I was debating between the Datavis & J&R purchase and your info about price match made life easier. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on it with J&R. They only had 4 left when I called. I got it for $2388. Not too shabby. I figure even if Amazon offers a $100 - $150 mail in from the get go, I still have to wait for the rebate. If its $200 or more off of the retail I can always return to J&R if I keep everything squeaky clean!

    Can't wait to get my new notebook! My S460 will now be hitting Ebay! :)

    WooHoo!

    Wow LOL! I was wondering why they had limited ratings. I looked under Datavision and not Datavis.com. Had I done so I would have never made the order.
    As it is, I ordered on Wednesday afternoon and had it Thursday afternoon. The guy even went out of his way to get it shipped that day even though it was after 3pm. Looks like I got lucky. :)

    I'm happy for ya Bossy. Enjoy it. I am too chicken to order from them; perhaps I'll try looking for the sz120/140 at a local store this weekend.

    I don't blame you in the least. If I had read the reseller ratings before I made the call, I would have never done it. That said, my order went smooth as glass and at $120 less than list to boot.
