As you have probably guessed by now, I am a brand conscious
person and my all time favourite brand is Sony. Heck I have
so many Sony stuff that you might think that I am actually sponsored
by SONY (Yah in my dreams). NOTHING TOUCHES THESE HANDS BUT
SONY BABY!!!
Here is my SONY collection in chronological order (Pictures
taken by SONY DSC V1 and DSC P2)
| 1) The one that started it all: |
| The Sony Vaio PCG SR33
Laptop which I bought in the spring of 2002. Both my housemates
(Joel and Alan) were each getting laptops so I thought
"Hey! What the hell, I can't be left out!" so
I placed a bid on Ubid.com (the ultimate scam site beware!!)
SONY PCG-SR33(refurbished) -- Price: USD 750
Celeron 600, 10", 10 gig HDD, 128 meg ram, 8mb video
card, weight:1.2 pounds
Unfortunately this hunk of junk stopped working recently
but I think it has been utilised enough to cover the $$
spent. |

| 2) The first Sony Camera |
The Sony Digital Still
Camera DSC P-2 camera which I bought in
the summer of 2002. Since the laptop above comes with
a memorystick slot, I thought "You know, what the
hell I might as well get that nice new Sony camera that
just came out!" so I went to Penisula Plaza and blew
my intership allowance on a brand new P-2. Sad to say,
2 weeks later the price of this baby dropped by $100....
SONY DSC P-2 -- Price: SGD 700
2MP, 3x Optical Zoom, comes with 16mb Memory Stick. This
camera has been with me to the USA, Spain, France &
Puerto Rico. I have since given this camera to my folks.

| 3) The 3rd SONY Discman/MP3 Player |
In fact, the first ever Discman I had was a Sony (Dunno
what model number). The second was also another Sony.
both were sold after I got this baby... the waterresist,
G-protection Sports MP3/CD SONY
S2 DCS-901 Discman brand new from Ebay
in the winter of 2002.
SONY DCS-901 Discman -- Price: USD 100
CD audio/MP3 player. G-Protection Shock resist, sports
strap, one touch joystick (play/rewind/forward). This
thing is so solid that if I used it to hit your head,
the last thing you will remember will be me dancing to
the still-playing music over your fallen body. |
| |
| 4) The 1st Sony Ericssion Phone |
Both my new housemates refused to get a fixed landline,
instead relying only on their handphones (selfish !@#!s)
So I had no choice but to purchase a mobile plan from
T-Mobile from Amazon.com in the summer of 2003. The good
thing is-- this Sony Ericsson
T68i came with the plan for -$0.01
Sony Ericsson T68i Handphone -- Price: USD -0.01($99.99
with $100 rebate from Amazon.com). This has since been
replaced by my new camera phone but it remains as a standby
phone in case I need to go into base or something. |
| |
| 5) The PLAYSTATION2 |
I was getting really really bored in the Fall of 2003
so I waited patiently for a good deal on the SONY
PlayStation 2 and swooped in to purchase
my best companion for the remainder of my Cornell days....
Sony Playstation 2 with online pack -- Price: USD 199
Still playing!! (Don't tell anyone but this has been
modded with a Infinity 1.2 chip) |
| |
| 6) The 2nd Sony camera |
The P-2 was getting outdated really quickly! Therefore
in the Spring of 2004, I waited patiently for
www.dell.com to have a good deal on the not so new but
feature packed SONY DSC-V1.
And finally, with some luck, the deal came and I pounced
on it...
Sony DSC V-1 Prosumer Camera -- Price: USD 378
5 MP. 4x optical zoom, holographic focus assist, manual
functions, flash hotshoe. My favourite camera.. excellent
pictures, easy to use and compact to boot!!! 3 cheers
for this buy!! No regrets at all!!! |
| |
| 7) The 4th Sony Discman/MP3 player |
Graduation time! And time for some changes. The new
SONY DNS 505
player just came out at Bestbuy for a measly $79.99 and
it looks sooooo cool to boot!!!
Sony DNS 505 S2 Discman -- Price: USD $79.99
ATRAC3/MP3/CD player, water resist, shock resist, Heat
dissipation cover (why the hell would I need that?!?),
Equalizer, right/left hand configurations... etc etc All
in all a good buy but its almost the same as my old D-CS
901. |
| |
| 8) And Finally, the 2nd SE handphone |
| Everybody has a color camera phone!!
Not wanting to be left out, I immediately blew $500 on
the Sony Ericsson K700i...
Sony Ericsson K700i Handphone -- Price: SGD 498 with
free Akono BT headset
Using it currently... |
| And thats it for now (not counting the tons
of Sony Pictures DVDs and Sony music cds that I have)....
The next SONY purchase might be the TR3A
Vaio laptop who knows? When I get my bonus
I guess..... |
