Those problems are for the clocks bought from U.S. I guess that these pieces won't give any problems. Even if there are problems, we can go for RMA as it is covered under Sony for 1 year. My brother already bought a piece for 1,400 (he won't mind for paying 50 bucks extra) and it's working fine till now.
Moreover, the price mentioned in Sony India is Rs. 1,490. So, I guess that the quote of Rs. 1,350 is fair. What say guys?
