    so it looks like the SR has been discontinued and there is a Best Buy exclusive called the S. Is the S or another similar model going to be available through the Sony site and if so when? I called them in January and they said the S would be available shortly but I've only seen it through best buy. I ask because I'd like to custom order the specs through sony and also get a different color.
    Thanks
    Ted

    I have been told during US Spring (few more months away I believe). From my limited understanding the S is only for BestBuy for 6months. So expect around June July for the S to be available anywhere else. The other option would be buy from another country, but for the money you can buy a Z in the US.

    acording to the aony site, s is discontinued, go figure but I think best buy has a 4 month or so quarantee.

    though if your looking for the widi just get a Intel adv n 6200 and you are good to go with a i5/i3/i7

    Canadian support told me that the S will remain exclusive to BB over the summer

    So perhaps this will change in the fall...
