    Well I thought they had discontinued the S series with the 580 but I guess not...

    Keep in mind the pricing is in CDN. This would probably retail in the U.S about $1599 U.S. Looks like an O.K deal.

    Edit -
    Just realized it isn't being sold on sonystyle.com only on sonystyle.ca - How strange!

    Also, what is the difference between the SZ200 and SZ100 series other than the premium and nonpremium in each. Are some bugs fixed or what?

    Until somebody actually gets their hands on one and reports back the only difference I can see is a higher processor speed in the top of the line SZ.

    There is another difference. The hard drive has a G-shock sensor like the SZ now.

    Also interesting
    Good to hear :)

    Well it does have a 6400 go so it will be able to run the aero glass interface. Basically every computer now is "vista ready" even if it can't run the aero interface so that labeling does not mean much.
