I spent $2k for a sony TR3AP3. it is brand new in sealed state. some one
won it from a contest and want to trade it for luxury money.

DVD_RW. 1G mem.

i think it worth $2K.
1) on sony website, it is about $2800;
2) if i buy sony TR3A for $1600, i need to upgrade mem: $100,
DVD_RW: $270. very close to $2K already.

what do you think? comments appreciated.

How come i didnn’t see the recovery CD? where could i download?

TR3AP3 (I assume you meant tr3ap3 and not tr3p3 or is there some new model out?) without dvd-rw :? :?

I paid about 1600 quid for mine. The thing did come with a DVD RW but only 512 MB ram. I’m sure more RAM wouldnt hurt. But we in the UK always get a bummer for a deal.
