It’s also possible to add a personal message. Engraving is “free” and can be done on the spot (in the store) or through the Japanese Sony Style website . Depending on the model, prices range from $150 to $220. Sony is also offering a special case for their Walkmans ($19, see above) and a Mickey Mouse stand ($30, pictured below). Sales in Japan started today, but I’m doubting these Walkmans will ever be available outside Japan. Die-hard Disney fans can try and ask specialized import/export stores such as Geek Stuff 4 U or the Japan Trend Shop for help.
