128MB Creative Nomad Muvo NX @ Frys ~$69.99 (YMMV)

[CaseTragedy]

I just dropped by Frys for my lunch break and decided to get a Muvo. List price was $149.99 with no indications of a sale--but it rang up $69.99.

I took the last one @ Costa Mesa-Frys.

YMMV.

It's an advertised price in Las Vegas. $69.99. They had about 4 on the shelf after I took one. Limit 1 per customer.

Very nice. This is a great MP3 player. I have the 256MB version and love it. The only thing it doesn't have is an FM tuner.

 

[RichC]

Yah, I was bummed it didn't have an FM tuner either, but for $69 out the door, I'll deal. Besides, radio stations in this town suck anyway. How's your playback quality? Right now, I'm getting some background noise. It sounds like a CD motor whirring away. It might be the compression I'm using, since I'm converting my mp3's to .wma's. After I get back from the gym, I'll try to stick a regular mp3 on it and see if it helps.

 

[Dantzig]

Playback quality is excellent, although all I listen to are 192kpbs MP3s.

Oh, I did have one other minor complaint: the stock earbuds are weird. One side is about 3 times as long as the other. I understand why they're like that, but I still don't like it. I replaced them with a set with equal length wires and better sound quality.

ya was advertised at that price since sunday i believe. bleh.

So a deal slipped through the cracks and nobody posted it. Doesn't mean we shouldn't post. Not everybody gets a subscription to the newspaper.

The deal is back on again for Southern Californians.
