Oh Giga Juke box, where are thou in the US? Sony Europe continues to spoil its customers with new music storage devices that for some reason do not seem to get any love here in the US. I guess Sony US thinks, hey you got PS3, Blu-ray server HES-V1000 (now discontinued) and other toys to play with, so no soup GIGA Juke box for you!
Anyways, the new models that will show up at your local Sony Centers are GIGA JUKE NAS-SC500PK and NAS-E300HD. Sony packed 160 GB and 80GB respectively, as well as the ability to stream your music from nearby computers, “SenseMe” channels will analyze music for you and distribute it accordingly. It also incorporates Sony’s technology, DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) and the beloved S-Master Digital Amp. Both juke boxes will play your happy tunes wrapped in MP3, AAC, Linear PCM, WMA and Sony even did not forget to include its ATRAC stepson.
WM-PORT is also included for you to dock and charge your new shiny X series Walkman, so thanks Sony for showing some love to your Walkman finally.
