    Please see my guide.
    Premium second gen models should not experience this problem.
    This is one mostly associated with the earliest standard first gen models.

    And, it's a retail model, that's why it isn't sold in SonyStyle.

    If you get the 260, you pay several hundred more dollars for 20 more GB of HD space and 1 GB instead of 512 MB. The HD space is sufficient, and it's easy to upgrade RAM yourself, with either another 512 MB or 2x 1GB sticks.

    Right, $170 more.
    RAM installed in SZ250: 256 x 256. So if later on need tp upgrade to 1GB, must replace with 2 slots, which may cost around $120.
    Tks

    The lowest price of the 250 I could find (with free DDR2 1GB RAM) is 2,099.
    What about the 260?

    I have 1 gig (2 x 512mb) I took out of my SZ260 when I bought it that I would like to sell. I posted it on Craigslist.com for $75. Let me know if you would be interested. I would be happy to send you more info if need be.
