I got mine at Target for $35 two weeks ago and I totally love it. It was a steal at $35 and I'd gladly pay full price for it.

The sound is great, it plays AAC files and is real easy to use on both Mac and PCs. I have one of the affected units and I haven't seen the problem but I'll send it in. I called the number on Sony's site but all I got was a weird busy signal (like the number wasn't active).

Internal battery of the dead NWZ-W202 talks to the internal Flash Memory storage:
"Pssst, can you believe it, Flash Memory?"
"Believe what?", Flash Memory sez.

"Don't talk to me, I'm sick; for all I know I could have this Swine Flu."

"Listen...", Battery sez.

Flash respoinds: "...I don't want you to get it too. They made me non-removable so I be isolated from you, and you are non-removable, too. We are in this together..."

"...we just have to talk when necessary, nothing more. I need to rest. Only wake me when they decide to implement FLAC http://flac.sourceforge.net , OK?"

"Hah! Don't be stupid, Flash Memory; that would take a miracle...", Battery sez.
"...but listen...We are getting recalled!".
"Yes!", Flash Memory yells.

"Who told you?"
"Rember when Joe bought us? Remember?", Battery responds.
"How can I forget!", Flash Memory sez.
"What a sweaty pig!"

"Yeah, well there'll be no more banging us against the desk and throwing us against the bedroom wall now 'cause he found out about the recall!"

"Thank God!...though it was funny when he cursed our homeland and our manufacturer!"
"Yeah it was kind of funny about the Sony curses, because I am still bitter about us being non-removable...", Battery responds, shaking his head.

"Are we going back to China? I feel homesick... and I need a good clean.", Flash asked.
"I don't know... I'm pretty sure it's a replacement... but I doubt we're going all the way back. I just hope we make it out alive...we might become factory-reconditioned refurbs...but seriously, anything is better than being sweat on, including death. The conditions we have worked under have been among the most inihospitable in the electronics industry. Plus let's face it; one of us would die sooner rather than later anyway - we are just non-living, non-removable, sub-chip componentry to Sony! She doesn't feel our pain!"

"I know...", Flash Memory sez. "I really wish I could get out from here like my microSD friends...they are so lucky getting the sun and air"

"No time to think about what could have been now", Battery sez. "Get some rest and goodnight. The main thing is the worst is over."
"You're right! Goodnight, Battery"
"Goodnight, Flash Memory"
