We took a closer look at the Sony HMZ-T2 at the end of last month, but a fortnight ago, there was no information on the pricing details for the Sony HMZ-T2. Fast forward to today, and we have official word from Sony Japan that the Sony HMZ-T2 has been slapped with a price point, where it will arrive on store shelves this coming October 13th. Needless to say, the Sony HMZ-T2 is obviously a vast improvement over its predecessor, delivering a package that is far lighter on the scales, in addition to boasting a redesigned head strap for improved comfort, with ear buds replacing headphones in addition to support for 24p video and a “Clear” panel drive mode that would come in handy when you are viewing some serious, fast content.

I guess you can make a guess at what the US version will cost after checking out how much the Japanese will have to fork out for it. We are looking at a tune of $894 after conversion, which is rather pricey compared to its predecessor that cost $799 a pop last year Stateside. Do expect to see the Sony HMZ-T2 being in action at the Tokyo Game Show later this year. [Press Release (Japanese)]

WASHINGTON – If you’d like to feel ill, read Bob Woodward’s new book, “The Price of Politics.”

Woodward is meticulous, as usual, and partly because of his attention to detail, the middle section of the book –- with its endless descriptions of meetings, mind-numbing budget figures and constant gridlock –- will make you want to bang your head against a wall.
