    Anyone know when US/Canada will get the S as CTO on sonystyle?

    Or will it be a bestbuy exclusive for a while?

    I'm really interested in this lappie but I want to be able to customize/beef up :p my own rather than buying a stock one from BB.

    Thanks for any info.

    I believe most of europe has it as cto, so it's probably an issue regarding bestbuy's blue label program in North America.

    Support Email Response (excerpt):

    "The S Series is exclusive to Best Buy and will not be made available to Sony direct channels this season.

    Unfortunately, this series cannot be customized and will not be offered in our SonyStyle.ca custom line-up moving forward. "


    Lucky Europe!

    I was waiting for the S series too.. but I went with the CW...

    I might sell and get a S series if the upgrade doesn't cost too much...
