For $1200, you can have a Sony Walkman

[Blockzillahead]

But is there a market for people after such quality at such high a price?

If there is, then kudos to Sony. But I can't imagine anyone I know who would be willing to purchase it, although I may just not know the right people.

there might be. its the same reason professional audio equipment is so damn expensive. because its top quality. idk how top quality sony here is with this Walkman but im assuming because of their pricing reasons it has to be top quality.

People sometimes price items high for status/demand reasons. This could be Sony just wanting only high class business executives to purchase this so that they can appear as if they have a product that appeals to an exclusive market.

It's also not unheard of that a company will release a product at an extravagant price, hoping to prove controversial and thereby bring in publicity.

Later on they may cut the price, or re-release a similar but cheaper version, which would look like a bargain by comparison.

128 gig? I don't think so - The iPod classic gen7 is a 4th the size and less than half the price

How the forget does 128GBs SSD space equate to $1200?

Sony overprices a lot of their tech

remember, you are mostly paying for brand name (think Beats by Dre)
