    Noticeable change is that they now have the P8700, which is only $50.00 more than the P8600.

    Any right now they don't have the Sony Extended warranty or the 10% discount...

    Looks like the same as the FW290 CTO I bought in December with a few better CPU options priced slightly higher than I paid but less than the price in late December.

    I really would like to see the ATI Mobility HD 3870 as an option and I'd sell this one and buy one with the better GPU. Even so, this HD3650 works better for the games I play than the nVidia 8600 I have in my Macbook Pro (and the fan is not on constantly like it is with my Mac).

    Cheers,

    Is this possible that they mixed-up the FW390-CTO specs? According to my search, there is no such thing of a T6400 at 2.2GHz. This is misleading customers. Bravo Sony Style!
