Ok so I'm very interested in the Sansa e260/e280 now. i'm leaning towards the e280 because like a previous poster said, 20 bucks isn't that bad for double the capacity. My best price on pricegrabber for the 8 GB e280 is $177.40 shipped from B&H photo which isn't that bad at all considering a 2 GB nano is $150.

I checked the hot deals forums and couldn't find any special deals. I notice in reviews others have said they paid $150 for the 8 GB model in the past.

I am going to be returning a wireless xbox 360 headset which I will be putting towards an mp3 player which is basically $60.

All of you with an e260/e270/e280:

I notice it has FM radio and FM radio recording? Does it work well?

bwhahaha!
I seriously need to look into some MP3 players. My Dell DJ20 is getting old and battery is starting to show it's age.
And my DJ Ditty is seems to small in capacity and reading the display.

tell that to the IT department here at work. I got my work computer in 2004 with windows 2000 because they hadn't approved XP for the network.

I can't stand my Sansa and use my iPod mini or the original shuffle which has superior sound...

Tell your boss you swear you only use your computer for work purposes.
