Sony Network Walkman

I DID IT!!! I FINALLY GOT MY SONY NETWORK WALKMAN!!!

I'm very happy. I dont' know why Kt says it is a pain. Probably cuz she not very patient. Some cds that you make yourself have to have their info put in manually and that can take a lot of time. However, if you have simply made a copy of a cd and put that on the walkman program thing, it should find the info just fine. Don't worry kt, just wait till I have to put in all my Idol files...I'll probably scream! Getting to buy this thing was a bit of a pain the butt! I went online to see what I wanted to get, decided on the color black, not blue *gasp!* Well I went to the Sony Style website and also looked to see if this thing was sold in stores. I found it at Sears.com for $20 less than the sony factory price and was massively excited. I ran to the sears electronics place close to where I work AND THEY HAD IT...for $349.99!!! That's outrageous!!! It's only 299 on sony's site, but I had to have it. I showed them online where is was supposed to be chaper, and they pointed out to me that it was a closeout item and the only way to get it would be online, while supplies last, ha ha ha. Well, I decided to make a little trek out to Southlake to see if they might have it. Nope, same information, go online, best of luck to you, go away. I call Dude and tell him and he's like, 'well sometimes it's better to spend more money to get the newest model' (oh yeah, failed to mention that the guy at the first sears near me was telling me that his was a newer model which is why they were charging more for it.) Yeah so I went home and pondered what to do. I wanted the walkman, but I wanted it in black and at a normal price. I got really antsy and said, screw it, I'm goin. I went back to the sears store closest to me and walked in very happily knowing what I wanted. Well there was someone working with a customer at that counter, and the thing was locked up. I decided to wait patiently, cuz what the hell else was I gonna do? The dude I saw before was not there anymore and now it was some old dude. Ugh, it was taking them forever!!! I had to keep thinking that when he finally waited on me that he would take just as much time and be equally as nice, so I was willing to continue to wait. Finally they made their purchase and he finished with them and walked them up to the front ( I think they bought a tv). After that, I didn't see the dude again. I saw a few other ppl, but I would have had to set myself on fire to get their attention, and then they probably would have just warmed their hands on me and walked away!!!! After hell froze over the guy returned. He was non helpful lol. I told him exactly waht I wanted, pointed right at it! He was like 'um, well, uh, er, um ok, lemme get the key, oh i don't have the key, wait here.' Now we had to play who has the keys and how long before I get to kill someone. I finally got him to get it. Guess what! It was on sale! Only $299! That's like the real price!!! Bloody hell!!!
