SONY IS DEFINITELY MESSING WITH US !!! LOL

[inectarios]

Hi guys,

I know that quite a few ppl have been waiting for Sony to release out those AV-dock stations for the A and FS series laptops as separate accessories, (they are currently only bundled with new laptops).

Well the "kind of" good news is for the FS owners only up to now. Yes, if you check sonystyle.com (us site) the AV dock for the FS series laptops is now available, so it will probably be available in europe at some point. (Hopefully).

BUT there's a catch (as always with Sony apparently) they say its only compatible with those models bought in Summer 2005. I believe thats for software reasons and not hardware ones. Therefore i guess if someone can get his hands on the required software it shouldnt be a problem.

Apparently they are NOT supplying the necessary software for the stations. Your laptop has to come with those. That's why I said "kind of" good news.

As for the A-series owners (I'm one of them) no luck yet. Now why? I just can't think of a good reason... Why making the FS AV dock available before the A series its a thing to wonder. I mean, there should be (and most probably are) more A-series owners (and therefore potential buyers) around since the A series has been out for a year now. The FS only came out 4-5 months ago.

OK. maybe i've analysed this too much. but anyways I thought some of you might wanted to know....

Cheers.

So in other words, the docking station is only useable for the FS2, and not the FS1. Thanks Sony, rub it in why dont ya?:smileyangry:

What a waste. They sell a docking station, but no one will buy it. Because no one can use it. And a FS with docking station is cheaper than without. Particuarly if you want buy the dock it later.

Who is the stupid here. We or Sony?

The same thing with the overpriced RAM. NEVER BUY SONY RAM.

Another crazy decision by Sony, the docking station should work for all the FS notebooks.

Wouldn't hurt them to offer the software on CD alongside the hardware, specially for the price they'll want for it!

I can only laugh about that.

this might be a wide sort but i was thinking how is sonys shares doing in the market, are they improving alot or nothing or a bit. just a thought. But i guess sony are only doing this with pc and notepads and not other products like cams other things.

This link is all I could find. From the looks of things they are doing just fine.They are such a big corporation they will never do too bad in the market, just follow the general trend.
