    The SZ Series due to be released on 17th was changed to 24th.

    And they had free shipping

    "
    Free Shipping
    on all VAIO® notebooks
    Only at Sony Style.
    Ends January 23rd. "

    Does that mean that the SZ and the FE series will cost to ship now? **** sony... if only they had released it on the 17th! :confused:

    That is probably one of the reasons why they pushed the pre-order date. If you want your notebook bad enough to pre-order it, you probably won't mind paying for shipping

    I believe sony is trying to completely deplete their stock of their S series before they release the SZ.. They have all these promotions for the S series that end the 23rd such as the free upgrades and free shipping and they just knocked off 50 dollars today for the starting price of the S580 customizables

    Because some people have no need for dual core plus they can find an S for cheaper as well. Not everyone can afford an SZ so they have to settle for the S

    50 bucks is pretty good for sony plus they're offering a 100 mail in rebate with free memory upgrade and free wireless card upgrade.. I'm sure they'll knock more off slowly as the new SZ approaches
