i think pricematch can be done, but i really doubt the dual rebate thing will go thru, since the two rebate forms are practically identical, except for the mailing address which is pretty confusing

DO NOT BUY THIS PLAYER

I had it for a while, but it makes way too much noise and I ended up returning it. It makes noise at different stages of a song, and going from song to song. You can actually hear it clicking away when you're listening to it.

Not worth any amount of money IMO.

Went ahead and ordered this player the other day and just emailed them the price match request a few minutes ago. They matched Egghead's $174.99 without questions. I noted in my price match request that after the $50 mfg rebate the total price is $124.99 at egghead. It appears the added $5.41 for shipping. Fine with me....These are good MP3/computer stoarge players IMHO.

Just a heads up - the Click! media does wear out. I don't know how long it lasts but this review of another product that uses Click! media makes it sound not so good:



<< One of the functions of the Iomega software is to give you important information about the disk itself. Here you can see the type (40MB), status (protected / unprotected), the very important Disk Life and Format Life percentages -- these disks do not last forever, they have a very finite life span and can only be reused just so many times. >>
