Sony Walkman W252 Special edition
Jun 5th
A few days ago I commented that Sony was planning to extend its range of Free Product Samples like Walkman MP3 players, with a new series, the NWZ-250 which among other features are water resistant and have a minimum weight, which makes it perfect to relax this summer in the pool.
At the next launch for PSP in the next installment in one of the most iconic video game for Playstation that has been, the Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Sony has prepared a special edition, the Sony Walkman W252, based on the theme of the game .
The design and characteristics are very similar to those of the NWZ-250, with 2 GB standard and water resistance, but this model is finished in camouflage and has stored six songs from the soundtrack of the game.
Furthermore, the purchase is attached a code with which to unlock new characters in the game. Sony has not only wanted the partnership is limited to the new MP3, but also allow for the game, we can collect all models of Sony Walkman has been in the history of the brand as stick a few shots.
It will be available from next June, although not yet known of his price. By contrast, the NWZ-250 series came out about 45 euros, so given that this will be a special edition, we may have to pay a little more.
