Creative Zen 20GB BB $299 USB 2.0 warm?

[jktam]

Just saw this at BB today too. seems like a good deal considering everybody is selling it for about $349.
Winston-Salem, NC.

was this $299 with no rebates?

 

[jktam]

yes $299 w/o rebates!

 

[iamme]

is there any other difference, besides the addition of USB 2.0?

 

[jktam]

should be the same as far as i know. it's just usb 2.0 now. there's no firewire anymore.

$299 is the standard price for the new USB 2.0 Zen. Creative is selling it for this price from their own website.

Could you hook up this device to a usb 1.1 slot? Would it still work?

Yes 2.0 is backwords compatible.

If anyone wants the Firewire one, I have one that is just a few weeks old, in perfect working order with upgraded firmware that I would be willing to trade for a USB 2.0 one, because I don't have Firewire. It's a $50 saving if you want to trade, since the Firewire one goes for $50 more.

You can get it at the Creative site too for $299.99 plus shipping ($15) no tax!

Main difference beside 2.0 USB only is a 14 Hour battery time vs the 12 Hour time with the Firewire!
