I'm probably going to buy a slim soon, but still gonna get the 60gb fixed by Sony since I noticed it has a SACD player and no other model does except I think the original 20gb.

I'm interested in buying some SACDs.
 
Have:
Dire straits: Brothers In Arms 20th Anniversary Edition
Pink Floyd: Darkside Of The Moon 30th Anniversary Edition
Peter Gabriel: UP

Some people say Dark side of the moon and Peter gabriel's UP is the best SACD's if you want max-out of your SACD system.

I Recommend SACD IF you have a good 5.1 system!
I've got Pink Floyd as well and I agree that it's the best sounding SACD. It really puts stereo to shame.
 
Any where I can find online retailer for SACD ? Looking for Sarah Brightman SACD and a few others like Billy Joel's Stranger. :D

Amazon also sells SACDs but a search for SACDs will include regular CDs (Audio CD) and that makes the SACDs harder to find.
