Sony Style

I’ve been here a couple times and I’m on the fence.
On my first visit I bought an alarm clock (one of the fancy ones that plays CDs.) I found the sales associates a bit condescending. Despite that, I found a product I was happy with. I have to wonder if my good experience was determined by how quick I got in and out after finding the product I wanted, though.
I went there recently looking for headphones for my mp3 player. It’s a pretty tiny unit and doesn’t have much power, so I was really concerned about impedance. I was also looking for closed headphones if possible, because I use my mp3 player mainly for commutes and I’m concerned about sound leakage out of respect for fellow commuters. I was perfectly happy shopping on my own and I knew exactly what I was looking for. Despite this, a sales associate insisted on «helping» me. I specified what I wanted to him in detail, but it felt like everything I said went in one ear and out the other.
The sales associate kept pushing headphones that were out of my price range, would not have much output volume on my tiny player, were not aesthetically pleasing (I did state my preferences during the conversation) and had bass-​enhancing features, the highlight of the headphones, that would not suit the commuting environment at all.
Instead of taking «no» for an answer, he kept pushing the product. He «explained» the specs to me as though I had failed sixth grade science class, and seemed genuinely shocked when I spoke like I was actually informed. His explanations also seemed like they were meant to take advantage of someone who was not informed, as the «benefits» he was preaching were mostly a bunch of hooey. It was a pretty off-​putting experience to say the least.
If you want something by Sony, feel free to get it here. But get out before the sales associates get you!

This is such a flashy store that I just had to go inside. They definitely know how to attract consumers. Their marketing people should get a raise.
We have been shopping for a 50 inch TV for quite some time now so I thought I may as well check out the TVs here since I was looking around the store anyway.
Holy cow! Expensive much?!
I couldn’t believe the prices of their TVs! We found one somewhere else for $ 700 and the cheapest one here was $ 1200.
Thanks but no thanks Sony Style.
The store definitely has style but you certainly pay for that style once you get inside.
I won’t be going back here.

The Sony store is very attractive. They have so many sleek and cool looking things that you want to buy but it’s so expensive.
I honestly have never even bought anything from the store but I always browse and love it. They have so many awesome gadgets in the store that you would think are James Bond worthy. Mentioning the Sony store without talking about Blu Ray would be a crime. It is taking over. The TV’s are always playing Blu Ray movies and the quality is just amazing. The images are so crisp and defined, almost breath takingly so.
When I finally decide to buy a blu ray player I will get it from the Sony store.

I probably wouldn’t buy anything at the Sony store, just because it’s so expensive, but it’s a fun place just to browse and look around. The thing about Sony products is that they are very attractive. They are sleek and clean. And I think that Sony makes a good-​quality product too. I had a Playstation 2 for years, and it’s held up better than any other console I’ve ever owned.
I have always been against Blue Ray, because I resent the fact that they will inevitably take over DVDs. I always thought that DVDs looked great; however, I used to think that about VHS too – that is until I saw a DVD. When I was in the Sony store though, many of the TVs had Blue Ray discs playing, and Lauren was right: I’m not sure if it was the Blue Ray or the TV itself, but many of the images looked amazingly realistic. One of the flat-​screens was playing a Celine Dion concert. It was almost like there was a miniature Celine standing right there before me. I felt like I could have literally reached out and pushed her off the stage.
The cameras were really cool too, with very large and clear screens. I really liked the ones that were different colours that would easily fit into my pocket – great for taking spy pictures. They also have lots of Playstation 3 games, and I noticed the prices were about the same as any other store.
I used to hate coming into the Sony Store, but since it’s been changed to Sony Style, not one person bothered me. I could just walk around with no pressuring salesmen – it was nice.

It’s been so long since I’ve been in a Sony store that I forgot how cool it is! For a few minutes I was able to step inside this high-​tech digital world and experience what it’s like to have cool gizmos at home. It’s still the great classic Sony quality as we all know it, only more high-​tech with all the Blue-​Ray disc flat-​screens and all that fancy stuff. No, I don’t really know what I’m talking about. I just know that their stuff is totally wicked awesome.
The Blue-​Ray players are absolutely amazing though. I found myself watching a scene from Indiana Jones, noticing something was different, but not sure what it was. The Blue-​Ray makes images seem like they’re right there in front of you, like you’re in the scene too. You don’t get that slight fuzzy quality from normal machines, where it’s obviously just on your screen.
Sony Style also has their computers, cameras, camcorders, Playstation gadgets, and other electronic accessories available here. Most of everything has a display model out, so you can play around with the many gadgets and see which one you like best.
At the back of the store is their home theatre room, where they have the sound system set up how you would at home. I sure wish that were my living room! I’m not on the market for any new gadgets, but it’s still fun to stop by and play around with things. You can tell everyone else is having fun too, by all the widened eyes and wide smiles in this store.
