Yes the VGC-V3S is listed on the PC World as CAM stated, it's priced £1499.00, however it's also listed on the Sony site and it's cheaper.
£1498.99

I think it is probably on the way out soon as they seem to be fazing it out at Sony Centres and on Sony Style.  There is a new model that launched in Japan and in the US late 2005 which boasts a 300gb hard disk and an LCD screen, all the other spec looks the same as far as I can tell.  Here's a link with pic:

Exactly I have been waiting for this for a while, thought it was going to turn up for the New Year but.....
Always the last country to get it:smileynot_talking:

I notice that the new VGC-VA10G is shipping with XP Media Center Edition. Is anyone going to shed a tear for VaioZone?

Is it possible that the delay in launching XP Media systems is due, in part, to the popularity of Sky+ ?

Possibly, but to beat it Sony would need dual tuners in their VAIOs

This one is already in the US markets.
here

see the pic

But I think that V3M/S look better.
The Keyboard looks better
The Remote looks BETTER
It's smaller
All the computer components are in the "fat" screen ( the base is only the power supply ).

The one thing that's maybe better in VA is the CD drive ( if it's located horizontally in the base.

First post since registering so be gentle!

Just got my V3S on Thursday from John Lewis for £1199.00.

Last one in stock and it's pretty much the same all over the country - all the pc world stock is display models.

If you want one, get in quickly.

Incidentally, the reason i bought this over the VA1 is purely looks. The performance might be better on the new one but come on, it looks hideous and dare i say it, cheap.

Backwards step Sony.

Oh, and morning everyone!!:smileyhappy:
