In Reply to: New Sony Walkman - $$$$ posted by geezerrocket on August 12, 2015 at 08:08:20:
$1200 spent today was about $325 in 1978 dollars.
When the Walkman was introduced in 1978 is went on sale for about US$200. I think that is about US$750 in today's money.
So yeah, it's about 160% of the effective price. The biggest difference is that the price of a Walkman or Walkman like device dropped like a stone the following years. I think the Fiio's of the world have already done that, and this leaves Sony with a "premium" product whose price isn't likely going to go down in MSRP.
