Courtesy of Hot Deals forum, I just bought this for $175 shipped. I'm turned off by the size, weight, and USB 1.1, but the price is so tempting. Anyone have one of these?

Or does anyone know where I can get an Ipod for $175? :eek:

edit I just changed my order to the Creative Zen 20GB model for $70 more after rebate. Anyone have this one?? Creative Zen 20GB MP3 player

Don't have one, but I know apple was selling refurb 5gb ipods on their site for 199 and some people were having luck finding returned open-box ipods pretty cheap at B&M stores. Not sure if either of those are available any more.

My friend just got a Nomad Jukebox (20gb). He LOVES it, plus it's firewire/USB 1.1.

5GB is too small for me. And the open boxes seemed to only in the Chicago area. The 20GB iPods are like $500 :(

Is this the one shaped like a CD player?

I wouldn't buy Creative unless you're content with a 90 Hardware Warranty. After that, if anything happens, you're SOL. Have fun with your Zen.
